1 Corinthians 8:6 (NIV) yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
It is SO easy to fall back into old habits. For me, that habit is yelling. I have proven to myself that I can not achieve this quest if I am not in the Word…meaning if I am not daily searching for and studying God’s word as set in front of me in the Bible. A month of chores, sick mom, sick kids, and traveling hubby knocked me off of my horse. I fell back into my old trap. Twice, I caught myself in the throws of a good old fashioned mom fit. Not pretty. Not pretty at all. It is so true that it is through God that we live. By live, I don’t mean that our cells are carrying out respiration and we are functioning. I mean that we are truly living out the life God wants for us, plans for us, and carries us through each day.
Prayer: Father, I am so sorry. I was becoming so confident in “my” abilities to parent that I let You fall by the side. How wrong I was. God, you are the strength in my parenting, not me. Please forgive my haughtiness, and allow me to come back into your arms. Thank you for continuing to teach me wisdom, even when I wasn’t searching for it. Help me to crave your word each day.
