The other day I had my 2 girls "picking up" ... you know, getting all of the mess that they had taken out during the day back into their rooms and in the right spots. I overheard Lil Princess grumbling to Sunshine Girl, "Yeah, we're having to be servants to Mommy ... having to pick up all this stuff and work for her!" Guess we now have the new meaning to "child labor"???
Revival services have been just tremendous this week at Oakwood. Loving the speaker, the spirit of the people, and most of all how the Lord is convicting me of areas in my life that I need to change in. One song that the choir sang has been on my mind a lot, just a phrase or two here and there ... "May all who come behind me find me faithful ... may the footprints that we leave lead them to believe and the life we live inspire them to obey ... " (at least that's the way I think it goes). Anyway, I think of those who will come behind me, my children and possibly grandchildren one day far into the future ... Is the life I am living right now worthy of being copied? Am I being faithful to the One who loves me most and gave Himself for me? Where does my passion lie? Is the example I am setting one that I truly WANT to be setting? I fall so short in so many areas of my life ... sometimes I think I am a complete failure as a mom and that it will only be by God's grace that my girls turn out half normal. My prayer is that God will use his word to teach ME how to more closely follow Him, to ignite the PASSION in my life for Him and that my girls will see that in me and desire to follow me in my pursuit of God.
It is nearly midnight as I write, and my two girls are in Sunshine Girl's bedroom GIGGLING!!! UGGGGHHHH!!!! The girls have slept in there for nearly 3 weeks together and this is the first night that it has been like this ... I love to hear them giggle with each other, but I have a feeling the giggling at this time of night will make for grouchy, whiney girls tomorrow! Simple pleasure of my day is hearing them and I can't seem to make myself get up and get it under control!
Good Night, all!
