Just Wondering
I am just wondering if I am the only one who feels like a huge failure 98% of the time...I feel guilty even writing those words but they are true for me. I feel like I am doing way too much and NONE of it Well. I am overwhelmed with my failures and guilt. Yet I have these children who most people seem to like...must be their father's influence. oh well...I'm not even very good at blogging!!!

From your one faithful reader:
Take it all back! I can think of many things that you do, and that you do well. God does not call us to feel guilty, or like a failure. Satan is telling you those lies. STOP BELIEVING THEM! (Hmmm... sound familiar?)
You are a wonderful mother! I have seen the way you interact with your family, and I hope that I can someday look at the example you have set for me when I raise my own children. You cannot look at the decisions your children have made, and blame yourself for them. I have seen you bringing them up under His Word... I know you have brought them all to His Throne of Grace... that is all you can do.
I cannot speak for your husband, but I am sure that he would say you are a wonderful wife. Again, I have seen the way you guys interact. I admire that so much about you... I want that for me!
And your friendship! I cannot say enough. You have been such an incredible support to me... a role model... I look at the way you just trust that He will take care of you... that He will provide for you... Your love for Him and your graciousness to others is spills out of you! I am so not joking when I say that I want to be just like you when I grow up!
I know you are overwhelmed. I know that you feel like a failure. But you are not. I wish there were words strong enough to convince you of that. But I am convinced that our Lord and Saviour would not want you to feel that way. I can't just tell you to stop feeling that way. They are your feelings, and they need to be ackowledged. But I pray that you will bring them to His feet... and LEAVE THEM THERE.
You are loving, gracious, beyond hospitable. You have an amazing gift in your voice, and you are using it for His glory. You have wisdom that amazes me. You have the ability to see things as they are... for no more and no less. You are so insightful! You are an encourager... a caregiver (to your family and friends)... need I go on???
My dear friend...try to see yourself through HIS EYES! You are one of His most beautiful creations. Don't forget it.
Love you more than you know, and am here for you no matter what.
