If I weighed the success of yesterday based on how good of a day it was, then it would be a big fat failure. I’m not one to complain about a Monday, but yesterday was a #MONDAY. Between my child not going to bed until 3 AM, said child getting stuck in a store (see stories for details) & general behavior difficulty, all while my husband was traveling for work, yeah. Not so good. But you know what redeemed it all? I sat on one of my kids’ bed amidst the behavior challenges and asked why. Why do we need to behave and obey our parents? And you know what their response was? JESUS. Because Jesus commands us, not because mommy says so. Can I just tell you how my heart just exploded in that moment? It’s not about me as a parent! I’m a tool. I’m going to fail. I’m going to yell. To get overwhelmed and impatient and want to throw in the towel. But it’s not about me. It’s about showing our kids that no, mommy isn’t perfect. But you know who is, and who I need daily? HIM. So give yourself a break, mom. You are doing an awesome job! Keep pointing them to Him and He will do the work. You can rest in that 🙌🏼 📷@ashlaureenphoto http://liketk.it/2uSKA
