Jul. 8, 2007 - Female Hormones...
I have a love/hate relationship with being female. I love being a female because it is what God made me. I love the art of womanhood and all it entails but I hate the guilt I place on myself! The thought of being the perfect wife, perfect mother and perfect friend. One who has it all together... I try and try and try and still I am at the same place I was when I started.
I was listening to Nancy Leigh DeMoss the other day and she spoke about the Proverbs 31 woman. She mentioned that everyone wants to be that person but in no way is able to attain that position. God gives us a glimpse of who He is through that women but no one is perfect outside of Him! When we try and try, we are bound to fail. When we invite God into our lives and seek His will, only then are we able to reach such lofty goals.
Back to being female. I notice how I haven't even touched on my title! For the past few days, my family has been going, going, going. If you looked at my house right now you would pass out from the sight of green grass on my front yard. Grass?? Are you serious?! Yes, there is grass. The boys from the Children's Home were so excited to do some manly work and of course we added an extra bonus of getting to work with weed whackers and other assorted power tools they jumped right in. As a reward for working so hard, we took them on a trip to Busch Gardens. So two nights up really late.
Do you see where this is going? Two nights up really late and two children who don't understand the value of sleeping in make a bad mix for a momma.
What is it with being sleep deprived? Simple comments become personal attacks that you question every ones love for you or if you are worth anything at all! I mean, you really get unglued! My poor DH tries so hard but he really can't win if I am tired. So he just does his thing to keep safe but even that isn't safe. Why did God make female hormones??
