Not only do I love to re-purpose or make just about anything... I also have to be available to let my life be "re-purposed" as well. My life got a major make over when I became a mother and realized that my calling was to stay at home with my children, then home schooling followed and a ton of re-purposing as God continues to mold me, and change me into the person that brings glory to Him in all Things!(even though I am rough around the edges! lol) Lately I haven't been on the top of my game in the joyful and content category?(anybody relate?) I have been praying and seeking wisdom on why this attitude of mine kept hanging around... so that s when it hit me... last night while I was reading before bed, "It is not just loving our children, but embracing the role of motherhood that releases us into the joy and glory of our divine career." Ouch! I do love my children and count my job as such a privilege, but I am not demonstrating that through my self pity, or frustration. Time to put some JOY and gentleness, and meekness on around here!
Good bye Mrs. Selfish....Hello Mommy!
I love this post! Just tonight a dear friend of mine said that she had been listening to a sermon. The speaker was saying that there are so many wonderful things we can be involved in, many for the Kingdom. But, are our plates so full that we are not able to love the way we ought to, as Christians? I hadn't ever thought about it, is my plate so full that I am not loving the way Christ would have me to love others? Well, what a refereshing perspective! So, here is to that joy, gentleness and meekness (and love!) By the way, you are doing a great job, hang in there!!! :)
