I was JUST thinking the other day and wondering if I am the only mom who has to moment by moment ask the Lord to change my heart. All day, every day, repeatedly, I am humbled and brought to my knees through this position of motherhood! I thought maybe everyone else just had it together more than me! <3 The other blog mentioned Psalm 145:8 (I think). The Lord is slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. If I can just be those two things with my kids! This is the second blog I’ve read such a posting on this weekend.

I agree with Bethany that we need to invest in our vocation. I don't think any of us would try to be a physician or a plumber without any knowledge in the area. I try to read and listen to as much as I can to equip myself to raise children, who will raise children, who will raise children....hopefully for an impact on the Kingdom. Thank you for this post.

This is a much needed post. We all need to be reminded daily that our calling is God's work. Nothing we do, from picking up a sock to reaching under that bed to find who knows what, to 10 pm talks with the young adults who want to know 'why' when you are ready to fall asleep standing up, is insignificant. If God is really sovereign (and He is) then all these gestures, talks, quiet impressions are being used by Him RIGHT NOW for His glory, our childrens' molding, and our sanctification. (Remember, there is no TIME with God... only WE live fixed in time.) When we obey Him, and that love from Him pours itself out for our children, when we act toward them as He does toward us(oh how difficult this is), what a glory that is to Him, and a sweet fragrance to our children, and what a testimony to the world. Let's all take God seriously, and really die to ourselves that we may live that full life He so wants for us. May we see Him rightly. Thank you so much for your blog.

He never said our calling would be easy--never! And we would do well to remember that it is a lie when Satan (in whatever form) tries to tell us, "See, if this was your calling, you'd be better at it"...if you get a chance, and haven't read it, go back and read this post about others God called who were totally unequipped for the job...it was post born from one of the sweetest revelations I've had as a mother. http://www.generationcedar.com/main/2008/12/motherhood-moses-and-beauty-of-broken.html It’s so good to hear that this post has been a blessing to you all…I’m convinced that as mothers, we just need constant encouragement, reminding and “going back” to the place where the Lord wants us…humbly leaning on Him.

I am 3 weeks out from having my fourth child, by c-section, living in a small 2 bedroom apartment, with a 6yod that has some major attitude/obedience issues and wow! It all seems to hit like a ton of bricks some days! I cry out to the Lord too..although perhaps not as often as I should. Thank you for this beautiful post! I needed this soooo much! Lots of love, Sommer Oh how I feel this today!
