NOW LISTEN TO THIS
Julie Barnhill noted today 3 things that trigger us. The one that gets me is Internal Pressures. Can I get an AMEN! It is amazing the pressures we put on ourselves and the thoughts we put in our head, we believe so many lies from the devil! Lets pray for TRUTH to permeate our hearts and lives.
I am not an angry person but when I get angry it is when Lillie hurts Titus or other children, biting them pulling hair whatever it is, it just gets to a place I didn't know exists. After the pressures of the day, the mommy this or that or picking up a spoon or cup a million times, hauling 2 children up and downstairs AT THE SAME TIME, a napless daughter, it finally is enough! I raise my voice and then the guilt just comes and those lies from the devil "you are a horrible mommy". Seriously, yesterday I asked Mark what in the world was God thinking entrusting these two little people to ME?! I am so blessed to have his amazing grace AND help through my day and HE HAS equipped me.
In this talk she also noted how Marvelously Complex we are as women. How many times a day do we bend down, carry a child, move a high chair, unload a stroller? We are physically emotionally and relationally complex! We have to maintain a home, maintain an intimate love relationship with our husbands and take care of these little babes! It is A LOT! Cut yourself some slack, pray for God to forgive you when you do wrong, change you from the experience and pray for a sincere heart for your children! In the meantime, Let it go and send those lies from the devil right back to Hell where they belong!! GIVE GRACE! So many people have just thrown this down the drain, don't judge moms, especially if you aren't one and just
LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Dr. Dobson also encouraged dealing with our spiritual state, be in prayer and in the word also deal with your fatigue! Chose a nap over dishes, or laundry. Rest. He compared it to an army with no reserve. Don't be without reserve.
2 Timothy 2:13 (New International Version)

if we are faithless,
he will remain faithful,
for he cannot disown himself.
God is crazy about us and he wants to use us to further His kingdom!!
"God gave me the gene, Its ok. I like to say what that woman has thought and is unable to say."
I think this is me. How often I say things that make people take a step back, because honestly I want to be the person that is the same INSIDE and OUT what you see IS what you get. Genuine. Real.
So that is why I post this, I am so far from perfect.
Be encouraged sister.
