Momma's need a little strength & perserverance!

We have such difficult, and rewarding, jobs as momma's....sometimes things are going well and we like our role as 'MOM'. Some days the role of laundry chief, diaper commander, clean dish diva, dinner boss and driving queen....can leave us a little depleated! All of our 'umph' is used up, and we feel done.

We need to seek God's supernatural strength (capacity to endure) and perserverance (patient endurance of hardships) to make it through all of the little, and big, trials of mommyhood.

When pottytraining isn't going well, when nights don't include much sleep, when sweet baby coo's turn into sassy talk of a 2 year old, we get tested. Our strength, perserverance and courage...get tested.
Do we give up and go hide? Do we not punish or disciple again, because we've already tried 12 times and give a sucker instead to keep them quiet? Maybe....but just because we've turned to these tactics before, doesn't mean we have to next time.

We can pray. We can persist in pursuing God in prayer, asking for the strength and courage we need.

Joshua 1:9 "...Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid, do not be discourage;

for the Lord your God will be with you wherver you go."

 

While the road may feel long, sometimes glorious & blessed, while other times frustrating and exhausting...may we be reminded of God's promises. Promises that he will listen...that we will have trails...that the same mighty power that rose Christ from the dead, is in us...and that we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
