Today I feel like I am facing all my short comings as a mom. I ask myself where did I go wrong, then I remind myself that my child forgetting to brush her teeth for the third day in a row doesn't make her a terrible child just a disobedient one. Like all the other children her age and every person that has ever lived except ONE, she is having to learn that you must obey or there is a punishment. I think I'm just having one of those bad mom days, you know the ones where you feel like your failing and you just can't do anything right. I will keep my eyes on the One who is stronger than I could ever be and the One who makes new everything I mess up and forgives all my sins. I will not listen to the voice of the enemy today, I will run this race of motherhood and love my child with a love only a mom can. I will correct and punish with love and forgiveness and try to teach along the way. I will let go of the areas that I can not work on today and wake up tomorrow ready for battle again. I am a mom and that's the best job of all.... Whoever said being a stay at home mom is easy NEVER walked a day in my shoes. So to all you moms who are on the battle field right now fighting for your children, be blessed today! Remember too that this is all worth it, the spankings and time outs will soon pass and the advice/lectures are all worth it too. Our time speaking into our children's lives are short but our efforts last a life time. All the honor and glory for Him today......

Just last night I told Ryan "I have failed as a Mom today.... I'm so glad His mercy is new every morning!"
