I AM WONDER WOMAN! Yes, it's true! But before you click off in total disgust at my apparent arrogance let me explain how I came to this profound conclusion.
I AM WONDER WOMAN - Stage One
I can do it all. Have lots of babies while my husband is in night school and working full time. Potty train all my children by 6 months and use only cloth diapers before then. Wear a size 6 outift the day after delivery, that I sewed the day before delivery. Home educate using only "living books" that are still sprouting roots from the binding. Eat only organically grown non-genetically modified foods where no animals have been harmed. And in my free time tell everyone else how to do it too. Yep, that's me, I AM WONDER WOMAN.
I AM WONDER WOMAN - Stage Two
I wonder if I'm doing anything right? Are the children learning anything? I'm beginning to wonder if I am going nuts. Becoming gen-u-whine squirrel feed. I wonder why I ever thought that I could do this? Did Charlotte Mason ever had a bad year? I wonder what Debi Pearl would do right now? I wonder what's for dinner tonight? I wonder when the last time my children's sheets were changed? I wonder why I don't care when the last time my children's sheets were changed? Yep, that's me I am wonder woman.
I AM WONDER WOMAN- Stage Three
"Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?...There is no one like you, O LORD" 1 Chronicles 17:16.
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 8:9
I stand in awe and wonder before a faithful God. Thank you Lord, that I am not the woman I used to be. I truly am a wonder woman.

I tend to love going through and watching that process in others as well. We try so hard sometimes, but no matter what the end result looks like, it's still all about HIM.

Especially: Did Charlotte Mason ever have a bad year? ROFLOL, I bet she did, or at least a bad month!!
Funny how our thoughts can go from one extreme to the other even within the same day. I am doing so well...no wait I've got it all wrong!

And doesn't it take us coming to the end our ourselves before we can stand in wonder of our mighty God?
