Have you ever had times in your life when you can really feel God presences?  I am such a stuborne person that it has taken me a really long time to understand what it means to be silent and listen to God.  I am really listening to God, he is pruning me right now!  He has my heart, he is showing me area in my life as a mom that I need to change.  There are so many times that I feel the children are being lazy and not giving me 100% and I start to become frustrated with their laziness.  The other day God asked me" Have you given me 100%? Ouch that hurt. Because to honestly answere God I had to say "NO".  That day I struggled with that.... God some days it is hard to give you 100%.  He answered " Yes your right, but I still love you, I still accept you for your off day, YOU need to do the same. Show your children that we all have off days, but you will still love, you will show them how to accomplish the job at hand and you will make these moments teaching moments INSTEAD of frustrating moments. At these moments your home will be peaceful, rewarding and loving.

I will post more on what God is teaching me. Oh his presence is a wonderful thing.

I have to be told this several times. Thankfully, we still have time as adults to learn and grow.
