I will begin tomato staking tomorrow. It won't be all day because I need to take the baby to the Dr. Man, I've been to the Dr. too often this past 30 days or so. Anyway, I'm excited again. If you've read any of my blog, you may be thinking I'm not serious about this and that I'll never get to it. But I will. I *really* do want to.
Because... I had an epiphany the other day. *This* is my life. It's not practice. There is no pause button Oh, how I wish there was!! So I could press it. Mature. Become a better mom, and *then* parent my children better. But, there isn't one. So, I've got to stop thinking, "Someday, I'll be a better mom. Someday, I'll take better care of the house. Someday, I'll control my temper and my moods better. Someday..." Well... someday is one of those things that can never come around if you choose for it not to. I choose for my Someday to begin today. Right now. 11:10pm CST on Sunday, January 8th.
Just as I've learned to take the power back from the piles of laundry, dirty dishes, and clutter (that's a blog for another day), I choose to give this life of mine to the LORD and say, "Ok. I"m ready. Let's get at this. Make me the mom my kiddos need NOW, not Someday."
I'm not naive enough to think it will be easy (although I wish it would be because deep down I'm lazy). I will need to be in the Word. I will need to pray. BUT this is a prayer and a gig I believe He really wants to happen and will therefore equip me to do this..
So, as Steven Curtis Chapman says, "Bring it on!"
Amen! |
