Last week I wanted so badly to sit down at the computer and write my weekly post but I just didn't have it in me. Little did I know just how hard last week was going to be. Sadie, my sweet Sadie. She is at the stage of testing me at every turn. It seems that I am spending more time disciplining, correcting, teaching and training instead of just loving and playing with my kiddos. It leaves me tired and spent each and everyday. I found myself on my knees over and over pleading for God's grace and mercy because there were many moments when I acted out in anger and had to apologize again and again for getting so upset. My patience was worn thin and it was just so tough. I was so thankful that today my sweet friend, Sarah, wrote a post encouraging moms just like me who are in the trenches with toddlers. Oh I am so thankful to know that if I continue teaching and training, it will reap harvest one day. One day, the gospel will seep into her heart so deep and she will love the Lord with all of her heart. Until then, I press on, teaching, praying and asking for grace. Not only is He helping her learn to obey, He is digging deep into the corners of my heart and showing me what a sinner that I am. Oh Father, help us to learn together just how amazing your grace is for each one of us.
I pray that this week I will rejoice when I am given moments to teach and train these sweet little ones that Father has entrusted to us.
