A Mother's T.R.E.K. (Totally Random Events with Kids) is dedicated to mothers who are experiencing a deep struggle or trial in their life.   One moment life was "normal" and the next, a turn of events sent their world into "survival" mode.  Through their story, will be reminded of how important our "trek" as mothers truly is.  I know as a homeschooling mom, I can get caught up in "life" .  I try to get everything done on my "list", but when a child gets sick (or when I do for that matter) I have to adjust and make exceptions.  A Mother's T.R.E.K. is just another way of reminding us to take a moment to evaluate our lives, our homes, and more importantly... our call as mothers.

It would be wonderful if I could "get it right" every day... but I don't.  Even with the best intentions, I fail (sometimes miserably) as a mom.  But God's grace is sufficient (But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.  2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)), His mercies are new every day (This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. “ The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “ Therefore I hope in Him!” The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.  Lamentations 3:21-25 (NKJV)), and with His strength I can do all things (I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (NKJV)).

As moms, we're all on a "trek" (a slow or arduous journey), but how we go about it is different.  I pray that A Mother's T.R.E.K. will help us to remember why we do what we do, and encourage us one more day to seek our Lord and thank Him for each blessing He sent to us to care for.  We have been promised nothing as far as the amount of time with our children... we have no idea when will be our last day with them.  Sometimes we just need a little something to help us "re-focus".  I pray these stories and lives of other moms will bless you and yours.
