The Seasons

'Tis the season for snotty noses, gnats (it's a southern thing), bed head and crooked pictures (sorry insta)!

Does anyone else feel like they put on such a good face outside of their home, but when it comes to inside the home you forget to be the Proverbs 31 woman you pray so hard to be?

This has been on my heart so heavily lately. Am I being the godly wife and mother I portray myself to be in front of others? Are my actions, behind closed doors, still reflecting Christ?

As I prayed in the alter at church yesterday, I asked God to refresh my spirit. After a (very) long week of wiping noses, covering coughs, and no sleep, I truly needed God to renew my mind.

It's so easy to lose ourselves in the day to day of motherhood and wifehood, and we often forget that these two roles are perhaps our greatest ministry.

Last nights message pricked my spirit, and confirmed what God had already been telling me. I MUST not fail my husband and children. How I treat Josh is a reflection of Christ within me. How I act in front of Ally and Briggs cannot be a contradiction to how I expect them to behave.

God, please help us to find the joy of this season. This to shall pass, and I pray to look back and have very little regrets.

“Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil All the days of her life.

She openeth her mouth with wisdom; And in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, And eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her.” Proverbs‬ ‭31:10-12, 26-28
