Our pastor has even made a similar comment to my husband: "That's great for you guys, but my wife isn't the super-mom that Mindy is." *So* not true! I was telling Jeff about this post recently, and felt a need to come back and revisit it. Thank you so much for the honest, encouraging thoughts you've shared here. You inspire me!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524347632845469825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-64493915944045575452009-10-20T10:40:14.633-04:002009-10-20T10:40:14.633-04:00Hello there,

I've been there a million times too - now I know God needs to refine me 4 times over, maybe more. Each child teaches me new things. His Grace is new every morning - thank goodness! I also LOVE your book recommendations, those two shepherd books are favorites of mine (ours!) <br /><br />Blessings!!<br />GingerGingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136357927834621203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-52921462334988327292009-10-06T00:49:34.591-04:002009-10-06T00:49:34.591-04:00Thanks for the book ideas.

I have experienced him repremanding me, directing me, and even encouraging me through people in my life, experiences I've had, and things that I have read. Like tonight. . . your post was such an encouragement. Not only in your wonderfully eloquent expression, but even in the echoing of this by the women leaving comments! Such a wonderful boost - and so energizing to know I'm not alone. Loved it!

It's called: "Bless Me, Father, For I Have Kids" by Susie Lloyd. My husband and I don't yet have children of our own, but I've taken care of kids of all ages for the past 16 years, and can identify with the running on fumes and getting by on the grace of God moments.

I've been feeling like ...I needed to hear this. I've been feeling like such a failure as a mom lately. But the Lord has given so much grace. I just read today "A righteous man falls seven times and rises again." We will fall, we will fail as mothers but because of His Grace, sweet grace, we will rise again. It's encouraging to read your thoughts because sometimes I wonder if I was made to raise these children. I feel so impatient, so tired, and completely out of energy. I feel like I'm not made of mother material at all. Then I read the Scriptures, I read testimonies of other mothers and realize, we're all human. This IS what I'm cut out for. He made me to do this. But I must rely on his grace. <br />Thanks for sharing. :)<br />Oh, and did you get my email?Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709599405488123628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-6335341256807224862009-10-02T18:35:54.261-04:002009-10-02T18:35:54.261-04:00This is a beautiful and honest post.You just make ...This is a beautiful and honest post.You just make it look so easy!<br />So your secret is He gives you just what you need when you need it...So true and so hard to get threw our heads:)<br />Thank you for writting this.Rayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603853079772981391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-11326624583209406552009-10-02T17:18:46.233-04:002009-10-02T17:18:46.233-04:00all i can say is wow! probably the best thing you...all i can say is wow! probably the best thing you've written. thank you!Hyperactive Luhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759058185836810901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-76243314364579929652009-10-02T17:12:25.098-04:002009-10-02T17:12:25.098-04:00So good and so true, Kristin!
