We have reached that point in the summer when I realize it is almost over. Before too long, the kids will be back in school, the year will fly by us, and the kids will be another year older. If I think about it too long, it will make me sad.
Then I remember the fun moments that are ahead: The school programs, the holidays, the school breaks we get to spend together.
I love being a mom. It is a difficult job, a thankless job, but something I know God has called me to do. This is one of the few things I know for sure He has called me to do.
I am one of those people who believes in Him, but struggles with that sometimes. You see, sometimes I feel as though I cannot hear Him. I know that is how the enemy wants me to feel; in an effort to drive a wedge between us.
This summer I participated in a group Bible study; we studied Gideon, by Priscilla Shirer. It was a wonderful study! I will admit, I went into this study with my idea of what I was going to gain, or learn, from it; however, I am now finished with the study and boy, was I wrong! I have learned so much more! When I thought it was going left, it went right! When I thought it was going right, it went left! I enjoyed this study so much! If you have the chance to participate in the study, please do! You will not regret it!
I now look at my life differently, in a great way! I still struggle, but I know I am continuing to grow in my relationship with Him. I am so happy for that! My goal is to be a good example for my kids and to help them with their relationship with Him. I want them to have a wonderful foundation before this world has a chance to sway them.
Do you have similar goals for your family? What is your plan of preparation?
Until next time,
Leah
