I haven't had much time for blogging or reading blogs (or email for that matter) this summer. Time passes so quickly and it goes by faster the older I get, it seems.
My heart has been encouraged and inspired (convicted really) by reading Mrs. June's blog, A Wise Woman Builds Her Home. Her blog always strikes a chord with me in my walk with God.
She is doing a series on Motherhood May these posts touch your heart and inspire you to become the woman/wife/mother God wants you to be.
I am making a public confession here to say that I am not seeking the Scriptures as much as I have been reading books and listening to "experts" to give me help and tips raising my kids. I have been praying for HELP in the middle of a crisis, rather than preparing the way by earnest prayer and intercession for my children.
As silly as it sounds, each of my kids has me scratching my head and wondering what to do about different things right now. Isn't that how God keeps us hungry for HIS wisdom?
LORD - I make a renewed commitment to YOU to seek YOUR wisdom in all things, especially with my children. I seek to glorify you in every word I speak, every decision I make, and every action I model for these three precious souls.
May I love their father as you would have me. May I respect and honor him as the head of our home, and, when they look at me, may they see your model of a Christian wife and mother. May my daughters be able to see Biblical Womanhood in action that will someday provide the encouragement and model they will need to live their lives. May my son see me as one worthy of being called a Lady and may I teach him how to live his life as one who is a mightly warrior of the LORD.
May my life make them hungry for you and desire to give their hearts to you early and forever. What an awesome blessing and responsibility I have to love and teach these sweet, precious ones about You. May your wisdom, peace, and joy rule in my heart and guide my footsteps as I seek to serve You by serving my family.
May you find me faithful. . . .
