Tapas and tantrums!!

I think that must be the best title to date!!Ha,ha.

I did check with Hub before I typed some of this more personal stuff and he said it was ok. This weekend has been wonderful and traumatic all at the same time. I have been really going through some changes with God and have come face to face with the real me. God has allowed me to see some of my motives for what they are and spoken very clearly on issues very dear to my heart.

One of the things I've come to realise is that my relationship with Him is what matters not my pursuit and striving to be a perfect mother. That He should be my reason to get up early,not just to petition Him on what I need, to do a perfect job that day, but because I love Him and want to spend precious time only with Him . After all, all things, all the issues of life flow out of Him anyway!!?

Seek His Kingdom first and He will sort the rest,duh!!!(my version!!!!!!)

So I've been feeling under pressure and under valued and exploding out from under it! God has let Hub and kids  press all my buttons and got it all out and I've obligingly let it all hang out as only I can.

How do you ladies find it?? Shock horror I'm not perfect,but thank God I'm a work in progress and He wants to draw it all out.

The kind of thing I'm talking about and I'm going to get really honest about the pressures I feel, is that I don't have enough of me,feed bubba or have sex! Sorry to be blunt but I think we all know the realities of the job we do. It takes every bit of us but how amazing an opportunity to become like Christ!

So enough near to the bone face reddening stuff....erm..

We did  do some nice things as well this weekend we had Tapas!!

Life is good we are getting lots done educationally and I feel making progress.I love what we do and I love this time of year. I love the cosy feeling of being at home as family.

 

 We had Church here today it is amazing how much more it feels like a home every time we host for church. It was a brilliant time of fellowship,teaching and worship I love it.

 

 

Take good care of yourselves here's to an inspiring week, GOD BLESS!!

You know, it can be very hard. I think at some point in time we all feel 'pulled' in what we should do. Regardless of if it's a fun thing to do, or a 'job', either way, it can make us feel pulled in many directions. I truly don't think you are alone in this, I know you are not. And, I for one, am not shocked you are not perfect. Since the Lord has been showing me the same exact thing in my life the past year, I'm realizing none of us are perfect. Isn't it great to to not have that kind of weight anymore? I pray things continue to go well with you. :)

Reality posting. So glad to see it!
So often I read posts on HSB of happy go lucky families painting an unrealistic picture of what their homeschool is like. If you only post about the good stuff- you aren't posting good stuff... in my opinion!
