Good moments, bad days...

Motherhood brings out the best and worst in me (so does marriage). They see all of me. I was telling my Hubs last night that I feel like I have really good moments with my kids but bad days, if that makes sense. I ADORE my kids so much and can't believe I'm this blessed to call them mine but daily I have to pray and ask the Lord to fill me with peace and strength and patience and love so that I can be a blessing to my children and not just a stressed out mama. I read this quote yesterday and was like, "YES!"... Words I needed to hear...
“Trying to do the Lord's work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.” 
― Corrie ten Boom
Praying for that constant filling of the Holy Spirit is so important as a mama, because WE ARE doing the Lord's work in raising these precious little ones that He has given to us.
