One of "those" days, Mama to Mama.

Maybe you know one of "those" days I'm talking about. We wake up and all with the world is right and then all the sudden the bottom falls out. Yikes! In the grand scheme of everything, our day has been great, I have just had my Mothering skills tested, pulled, yanked, and possibly kicked...HA! Being a Mama is honestly the most challenging job I have ever wanted! It's just that I never anticipate the anguish that comes along with "putting down my foot."

My sweet daughter is at the tender age of 4 and wants nothing else but to be older like other children. She is testing her waters with what her Daddy and I expect of her and it isn't always fun. So here I sit feeling badly for her dramatically tearful in her room. I wish it felt better to know that sticking to my guns and being her parent and not her "friend." I suppose this is were all my Mama friends are saying, "nobody said it would be easy." And I guess this is when I think, " nothing of importance never is."

At a Women' conference a couple of Saturdays ago, Angela Thomas said something to us that has just hovered in my heart. She said, "we (parents) have been entrusted by God with these little children." There was more to that, but that is what resonated with me. I have to stick to my guns when it gets tough because He has entrusted me to these children that I and we prayed for. That is so huge to me.



OK, I'm better. Thanks for listening and you could go ahead and pray for me for the next time, I am sure it is coming...Ha!
