Today I'm thankful that I get my worth from the Lord. That means even when I've done everything wrong, and am feeling at my worst, I can take comfort in knowing He made me in His image, to glorify Him, and I can do all things in Him who gives me strength.
Lately I've noticed my need for that strength more! Whoever said this being a mama thing was easy had never tried it. I actually did think, in a way, that being at home with my kids would be 'easier,' though that's not the right word. It definitely is more laid back and flexible as far as schedules, getting out the door by a certain time, are concerned. But it is in no way easier. I think it wears me out even more than teaching! Matt and I are both exhausted by the end of a day of parenting. There have been a few days lately when I've really felt like I'm doing nothing right, and yes, that's in my exhausted state of mind, but it's then that I turn to God and ask Him to remind me that I'm His. He has adopted me as His daughter. And even though I'm not doing this whole parenting thing perfectly (and as much as I try to do it perfectly!), I have faith that my Savior is in control. His plan is greater! He has marked my children as His since the day they were conceived, and He knows them better than anyone, and though they may stray, He will always have open arms when they run back to Him!
