This encouraged me this week...
Let me tell you friends, I needed it.
I have had more than a few parenting challenges the last few days.
The kind of days where I am left feeling depleted, emotionally and physically.
Days when the thought of answering one more question or cleaning up one more mess is more than I can stand.
But guess what? God knows where I am.
He is reminding me, "Don't try to do this on your own."
And I think I was.
I know I was.
I have been letting the frustration and insecurity get the best of me.
These children are not mine.
They are His.
But I am blessed to have been gifted them here on this earth.
And when I am at my end, my Savior tells me to "take heart".
What a beautiful thing.

Thanks Jami! He's been telling me the same thing. Basically - even though it feels like He's NOT working in my life right now, it's ALL His working. :)And He's got it under control. :)
Amen, friend. I was feeling exactly this way today... like it was Groundhog Day, almost! Same ol mess, same ol thing... Thanks for this beautiful reminder!! xo
One of my favorite verses! I'm so glad we can have peace in Jesus! Have you heard the Hillsong United song called Take Heart on the Aftermath album? So, so good.
Parenting is hard, isn't it? I wouldn't trade it, but there are days I want to stick my head in the sand. I'm glad Jesus provides for me.
