In The Process

Choosing Joy

Kendra, over at Preschoolers and Peace, has an amazing post about choosing joy.  Here is the link.  I can so relate to how she has been feeling about her own selfishness, and the desire to get the jobs of motherhood done instead of enjoying her children and embracing them on a daily, constant basis.  Her willingness to be transparent has humbled me and her desire to improve in this area is motivating me to evaluate my interactions with my own children.  Kendra nailed it best with stating "I am laying my sin area at the foot of the cross every single day"  I too need to approach the cross every day to confess my sins and weaknesses in this area and seek God's grace to strengthen me.  I want to experience a greater joy and I want my children to experience the joy that comes from the Lord.
