Some days, being a stay-at-home mom is joy after joy after joy.  What I feel welling up in me is hallelujah, this is such a blessing.

Other days…being a stay-at-home mom is my selfishness revealed to me all. day. long. What I feel welling up in me is crap, I have a lot of work to do in myself.

I’m thankful that I don’t have to do that work alone.

That I don’t have to be ashamed of the fact that I HAVE work to do.

That He loves me anyway.

My goal and my prayer is to be able to love myself that same way—to fully accept His grace at the same time that I accept my need for growth.

Journeying with God: never a dull moment…
