Are you in it?

Are you a SAHM. Are you intentionally present with your children or are you just getting through the day? This job as a stay at home wife and mother...can be well, not so easy. Although when you are on the outside looking in, you think, wow, how hard can her job be....Her husband goes to work and provides a living, all she has to do is stay at home and take care of the kids, cook, and clean. When the people of your household rely on you for their every need, when the baby cries, the toddler screams, the phone rings, the dog is chasing the cat, the 11 year old would rather watch caterpillars crawl by, than do their homework, the 16 year old wants to know where his shirt is, the 18 year old is walking out the door, bye Mom.. and when you answer the phone and Hubby's on the line saying, I'm on my way home Honey.....ah...yes...there is nothing easy about it....except....Grace. The Grace that flows from the Father above will supply Mommy with all her needs...when you're in the mist of it...it's sometimes hard to remember that. To remember that all of life is meant to be dependent on God, that he is a ever present help in our trouble (need). Just call out to him, "Jesus, I need you now, please help me". It is important for a Mom to begin her day with a cry out to God for his help, because we are human and to go it alone is nearly impossible. Sure she can probably get through the day without a cry out for help, but the day is easier when she focuses on God first. If you do not have a morning routine to spend time with God, consider stopping by goodmorninggirls.org and sign up for their free online bible study (yes it's FREE!!) I'm doing the current study myself and have participated in previous studies. They have all been wonderful, but the current "Anything" study has really been a tremendous blessing!! Enjoy my Luvs!!
