Hahaha on saying I was going to post every week.....such is the life of a wife and mother of two...
Lately I have been thinking and praying alot about satisfaction...although I am a wife, a mother and have everything in life that I have ever really wanted and more sometimes I find myself just always looking for the next thing or almost wondering what else is out there. Like I am missing out on something. The more I pray and wait on the Lord the more I realize that this is just a trick from Satan. Of course the number one thing he wants me to do is become discontent and dissatisfied and ungrateful for the beautiful life God has given me.
I am so very grateful for the Lord's work in my heart in teaching me to be content and thankful for every moment. To truly give thanks in all circumstances. I find that He is healing my heart and allowing peace to fill my heart where once I would become frustrated. Joy where once there would be anger or discontent. I love the life God has given me. It is an honor to be a wife to my wonderful husband who works so hard for our family and who I know loves me unconditionally.
I got sick one day a couple weeks ago..I thought I had the flu...achy didn't want to get out of bed...stayed in bed for a entire Saturday while i could hear my kiddos laughter and cries down the hallway. I hated not being a part of it all. This day really gave me perspective on life. A restart for my soul if you will. I take so much for granted...the ability to get out of bed, the ability to get dressed and care for my family. I realized that I may have been doing all these things but perhaps my heart wasnt as grateful and happy as it should have been in doing all these things.. perhaps my little frustrations throughout the day stemmed from ungratefulness and not giving my best to God each and every moment of each and every day. To consider everything you do as an offering of worship to the Lord. Weather it be washing a dish, changing a diaper, kissing a boo boo, or folding a towel....do it all as to the Lord. This has given my heart such joy. Thank you Lord for molding my sinful heart...please give me a heart that honors and adores you in all I say and do.
