Motherhood

So, do you ever find yourself mopping, cleaning dishes or folding laundry at 11pm, well I just finished all three. I now realize that I am way too tired to be doing that anymore, but it always seems to happen that way. Mopping is kind of out of the picture with kids around, and with laundry, I left it unoccupied for a split second one day, and all the nice, clean and folded clothes ended up on the ground. Annabelle loves to "dress" Beast with clothes on those now rare occasions when he is inside. And dishes, well there are always dishes to clean, load and unload. If someone could always unload for me, I would always have an empty sink. For some reason, I hate unloading. Anyways, hear I am unwinding from my day and had to vent about a mother's job. It is a blessing indeed, but man I am tired for sure. I always have to remember to not be overcome by the mundane of this world and all our duties. Rather, I need to count them joy and serve God through each little task.

Psalm 9:1-2 says
"I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;
I will tell of Your wonders.
I will be glad and exult in You
I will sing praise to Your name, O most High."

So, instead of contemplating my long tiring day, I need to focus on how great our God is and how truly His blessings make us rich. I will choose to dwell on the fact that I have 2 beautiful girls, a husband who loves God and a home to call my own. I have friends who are always there for me and a church of believers to call home. Thank you God for even thinking me worthy to be used by You.

Yes, I find it difficult to do MOM duties during kid awake hours, but during those hours, I get to play dress up, read books, color and color and color:), run in the sprinklers, do make up, tickle, and kiss and hug. What a wonderful day it is to be a mom.
