First Day on Our Own
Peter is back to work half days again this week, but today his duties required a full day. So me and my girls are on our own for the first time. So far not too bad. In the first hour we all shed tears, but things have steadily improved since.
I sat with Natalie this morning doing a quick quiet time while she watched "Bugs Life" and came across these verses:
"We proclaim Him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all His energy which so powerfully works in me." Colossians 1:28 and 29
This verse was a reminder of the fact that motherhood is hard but also of how I am to accomplish it...with His energy (thank goodness, He has a limitless supply!). And a reminder of the goal...to teach my children, to pass along wisdom, so that they will be perfect (complete).
So I'm trying to keep this in mind today...so far so good...but we'll see what tomorrow brings. I'm rather labile these days :) Gotta take this one minute (or second) at a time.
