I have failed that image so many times.
Even right now, I feel the weight of those failures. Shame.
But, I can pick out whose voice I am listening to in this moment. The Accuser sometimes sounds like a broken record, saying the same things to me, hoping that I'd believe it again.
Yes, I've tried to be SuperMom and ended up SuperMad. Hahaha.
{These vitamins are actually Super helpful, if only I could gag down the huge pills!}
The kind of mother I really, really, REALLY want to be? Is Joy-full.
Full to overflowing.
Abiding may just be one of the keys to unlock that door labeled "Joy Unspeakable Forevermore."
To Abide:
~ To remain in a place.
~ To continue to be sure or firm; endure.
~ To dwell or sojourn.~ To remain faithful (to)
~ To abide by your promise
~ To remain or continue
~ To await in expectationThe more I saturate (can you tell I like that word? I like it because I can "see" it, dripping with goodness) in Him, the more I become like Him.
When it feels, that in me, there is no good thing? Then, in Him, I can find all that I need.
I leave you with a free printable from"Confessions of a Homeschooler" that I absolutely love. Of course, you can't actually READ it here on my blog, but you can go HERE to download it for your printing pleasure. Go now!

Gorgeous transparency! I'm happy you said yes to 31 days and even happier still that I was drawn by your catch phrase. It's a beautiful thing to find other women desperate for God's truth. I will be following you for sure and I totally get the being known, acknowledged and seen. I believe its that need for community and connection, knowing that we are not out here on our own and that we are only valued by Jesus.
