Are you an amazing mother? Why, yes! Yes, you are!
Whether you are a stay at home mom or a working mom...
Whether you prepare completely nutritious meals from scratch everyday or...not...
Whether you allow hours of television or none at all...
Whether you are peaceful and serene every moment of the day...or you just really wish to be...
I believe most moms are doing the best they can. And if you really don't think you are, you have immediate access to the throne of God to seek His help for every possible "mommy conundrum" that can come your way. (Hebrews 4:16)
Romans 8:1 states "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit."
There's no room for "mommy-guilt" in Christ Jesus! Are you there?
"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men..." Colossians 3:23
We all have our vision of what a "perfect" mother is. I have one, you have one. What really matters is not my opinion of what you do (or even yours!), but God!
If you stay connected to the Vine, He will show you what you need to do. He will direct you and cause you to learn what you need to know. He will make situations line up in your favor, and give you creative ways to get it all done (whatever it may be!).
Seek Him. Trust Him. Do what He tells you to do.
The Bible tells us "But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised." Proverbs 31:30 (b)
Are you secure in your status in Christ Jesus? I'm praying that each one of you remains confident in your calling as a mother!
