Mommy Lesson 10 - Mommy's Need God's Word

Today didn’t go as planned – at – all. Really nothing went according to what was set up in my mind. And the kids were less than perfect today on edge and having a hard time with all things that had to do with life. Days like this happen I don’t live in a fairy tale where everything is perfect all the time. But I also didn’t spend time in the Word this morning. I kept telling myself I would get to it in a bit and a bit turned to later which turned to it being 10 to midnight and I haven’t sat down to read except when I did the kids Bible verse for the week. I did however get stressed enough to eat two brownies. Now that could mean that this post should be called Mommy’s Needed Chocolate or Mommy’s need the Word. I am going with the second choice because I know that the Word would have been a really good thing for me today. I am not saying that the day would have gone better but I am sure that I would have handled the day better if I would have taken that time in the morning sometime before the day got too crazy. Even if that moment doesn’t happen before the kids get up – I have two that wake up before me most days. I still need to take those few moments to just sit and be with my Lord so that I can keep my focus and handle the stresses of the day without consuming the brownies. Well maybe just one and because it sounded good. Not because I really was stressed and needed chocolate.

Romans 12:2 (HCSB) Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
