Surely most mothers, who consider themselves lovers of Jesus, can identify with most of what you have written.<br /><br />"I am sorry for shaking my fist at you proclaiming, 'I KNOW BEST.' I am sorry for wasting the many opportunities to rest in your arms, because the fight, the pride was more important. I am sure I will do it again, but please keep coming back, picking me up, rocking me, and gently leading me to rest."<br /><br />Your post brought back memories of emotions, struggles and conversations I've had over the years.<br /><br />Well written.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877705512670876087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273215698103493492.post-64057545051924528052011-04-02T22:20:10.806-04:002011-04-02T22:20:10.806-04:00Such an encouraging post, Amber!

Thank you for this. :) I struggle SO MUCH with Kendra in these toddler phases, especially when she is not feeling well and the whining/tantrums just seem to take up our entire day, and then you throw a teething Bee into the mix and there are days where I see just how ugly and sinful I really am. I had a bit of a breakdown about that two weeks ago and while it was awful, it was such a good reminder that on my own I can do NOTHING. In my weakness He is strong. It has been so good for me to remember as I can feel my temper about to snap that he has the patience that I do not, and He has not given me more than I can bear. I can bear it through Him.katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13683629612430650812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273215698103493492.post-52758754346888323572011-04-02T11:58:52.126-04:002011-04-02T11:58:52.126-04:00I love this!

it's so t...very beautiful reflections, Amber. <br /><br />it's so true that one can better identify how the Lord must view us once we become a parent. <br /><br />Growing your own family sure does grow you as a believer too! I felt God's refining in my life more fervently when I got married, then it intensified even more with the addition of each child.Heidi of Operation Organization https://www.blogger.com/profile/07463448328759787010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273215698103493492.post-46228024361535286542011-04-01T11:12:58.020-04:002011-04-01T11:12:58.020-04:00Wow what a beautifully written post! I agree with ...Wow what a beautifully written post! I agree with Kindra it has challenged me today as well. I can relate to all the frustrations you mention- specially feeling my blood flow when Jack spits out his food after I have told him not to numerous times. Or watching him sleep soundly at night and forgetting about all the frustrations I experienced with him earlier in the day. I agree that God the father shows us so much about who HIM through the process of being a mother. It is a beautiful and painful process all at the same time! But so worth it to be in a deeper relationship with Him through this journey.Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052196421914129444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273215698103493492.post-46352585832299539402011-04-01T11:05:28.922-04:002011-04-01T11:05:28.922-04:00Wow, did I need these words this morning. I'm ...Wow, did I need these words this morning. I'm feeling weary and frustrated - and in need of remembering. So many things resonated - "If I am being honest, it is often easy to ignore, as people come in and out of your life, your home, giving you room to breathe, room to forget."<br />"I am going to take you away from the situation, but I know you will return. Don't worry, I'll teach you the same lesson tomorrow and the next day and the next day until you learn.".<br />"I am sorry for wasting the many opportunities to rest in your arms, because the fight, the pride was more important. I am sure I will do it again, but please keep coming back, picking me up, rocking me, and gently leading me to rest."<br />Thanks dear friend for challenging and reminding me today. I thank God I'm not on this walk alone :)Kindrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856392945603572090noreply@blogger.com
