Tomorrow is another day and His mercy is new every morning. So let it be for yourself and your kids. <br /><br />Sometimes I believe we are called to be right where we are. We don't feel like we are doing "enough" JUST staying at home with our children. But God says if He can trust us with something little, He will bless us with more. The something "little" is not measured in God's eyes the same way it is measured in our eyes. Put your Jesus filter on, Steff. Know that you are dearly loved by THE Father and by so many friends and family!<br /><br />Be honest with yourself and your kids. Take a break--get them out of the house. You have taken on so much in the last year. Two new toddlers, severe illness and homeschooling! Plus Adam's dreams coming to fruition. Ask for help. <br /><br />He is mighty and it is only the world... xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02871978244661427018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190770886130324242.post-63870084610551482362009-04-18T10:49:00.000-05:002009-04-18T10:49:00.000-05:00I know...i feel the same way.

I think you are awesome. We all get ahead of ourselves and strive to do more and be more until we realize what we have sitting in our homes:hubby,kids and home are exactly what God wants us to minister to right this moment. I went through this very hard lesson last spring wanting to do something big that the Lord did not want me to do...he wants me right where I am and my day will come when i can minister outside of these 4 walls. I know how you are feeling..it is hard.Major Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994812785241546019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190770886130324242.post-19231838291983745452009-04-16T16:06:00.000-05:002009-04-16T16:06:00.000-05:00Love this post.

What you say is so true... but you definitely aren't a "bad" mother, because a bad mother wouldn't care and wouldn't strive to be better. You are a great mother who happens to be one of God's imperfect children. Good luck on your journey. :)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540561659147248278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190770886130324242.post-75876822543197589772009-04-16T10:35:00.000-05:002009-04-16T10:35:00.000-05:00Loving your honesty and understanding your heart! ...Loving your honesty and understanding your heart!

In fact, I just read a chapter in The Power of Praying Wife book and it was about priorities. It convicted me more about what I am currently feeling. It seems all too hard to make myself stop & have a moment with Annerson during the day. That's where I'm really struggling. I spend lots of time with her but it's not always quality time. Sometimes I wish I could get rid of this stupid computer b/c it is such a distraction for me. Even though I don't believe in having tv, I might as well b/c this computer is pretty darn close in my opinion. And if it's not the comp then it's dishes & laundry (thanks to you I'm a laundry nazi!). I can't imagine where you're at though with so many children. I just can't.<br /><br />I need to be a better mom, too. I'm not going to try to make you feel better or tell you that you aren't a good mom b/c I know that's not what you are looking for in this post. So...thanks for being honest with where you are. Admitting is the first step. Thanks for reminding me to work on being a better mom along with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190770886130324242.post-83984003312725211002009-04-15T19:46:00.000-05:002009-04-15T19:46:00.000-05:00Oh Prais God Steff!

I have for the most part given up computer and Relized that I so have a heart for missions but nowis not the time.
