Even by the title of my blog, you can see how much of my identity has been wrapped up in being a Mom. God doesnt want that. He wants us to see and KNOW who we are in Him.
Yes, a role on this earth is to be mom... not a perfect one.. but to be a godly mom.
However, after events this week in our home, I have seen that I have been completely wrapped up in how people judge my parenting.
Something happened in our home, and my immediate internal responsse was embarrassement and shame. Well with Father there is NO condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus. He has taken that shame away, and I can hold my head high, no matter what has happened in the life of my kids.
Yes itis normal to feel for everyone involved in tough situations. However, I am not responsible for the choices that my children make. I will love them, walk along side of them, but my "job" is not to protect them from consequences that come as a result.
Father, use this situation to bring glory to your name. Thank you that you are in control and that even in the midst of this, I know you are doing a work in me.
I want to be refined and Father dont stop until when you look at me, you see your image alone. Thank you for your love and understanding when my feelings are racing, and my thoughts are not clear. Thank you for sending friends to pray and family members to support. I pray that through this, that many will see your love and guidance and soverignty. In your most wonderful name, Amen
