Ever have a day where you wake up & feel defeated
already? Like Monday just kicked your booty? I slept through the alarm, which
means I didn’t get to work out OR have my quiet time before the kids got up. I
forgot to go to the store last night so we don’t have eggs or milk for
breakfast. I fell asleep before putting the diapers in the dryer. I was cranky
with my kids before we even had breakfast, so now everyone is cranky.
Sometimes I wake up positive, but by the time we get to the
end of the day I have been reminded of every single one of my faults. The words
“mommy fail” have been mentioned way too much. Actually my daughter went
through a stage when she was 5, where she would burst into tears every night as
she told me all the things “I said I would do”, but never did (get her juice,
do a craft, help her with something, etc). EVERY NIGHT I would put her to bed
feeling like a total loser!
Thank goodness for this…
2 Corinthians 12:9
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect
in your weakness.
I am FULL of weakness. I feel like some days I can’t get
anything right! But I guess that is the point of having an amazing, omnipotent
God. He is all-powerful! He doesn’t need us to be strong because HE is the
strongest!
This verse has gotten me through many a night, as my
daughter did the run-down of all my faults. Thankfully she has grown out of
this & our relationship has survived! Haha! I think a lot of it was due to
a new baby, a cute little sister, a little brother who demands a lot & her
feeling weary of being “a big helper” all the time. She just needed a little
recognition of her hard work, and some help from me in return…
Hmm… interesting! I completely understand that!
