Some days I'm overwhelmed by the responsibility

There are many days I feel so ill prepared that my internal voice says, "Girl, what have you done!"  Honestly there are times I wonder if I had known all the "in's and out's" of being a wife and mother if I would have picked this road.  It truly carries with it an awesome responsibility if done the way YHVH (Yahweh) would have us walk it out!

I give my mother no grief and I don't judge her for my lack of instruction because as a mother I see more and more that we can only give what we have been given or what we "know" at the time.  And since the fall of man we have been fighting a battle of understanding our place, our purpose, on this earth.  Which has been twisted and convoluted with lies and mass deception for thousands of years.  Mankind has been given a call, a job to do-Love our Creator and Love each other; however, male and female have biblically been fashioned for specific jobs and expressions of that Great Command.

Women, especially westernized women, have created a role that at times is maddening.  HaSatan, the enemy or our soul, has done an amazing job of deceiving us and allowing us to step into his puppet show.   Controlling our thoughts, playing on our fears, our search for significance and worth!  We run after the illusion of the perfect life... Daughter of YHVH, Wife, Mother, Career Woman, Family Member, Friend, Volunteer, Helper, Nurse, Fashionista, etc...the list is endless...all the while dropping balls and picking up bags of guilt and feelings of emptiness under the guise of "true bliss" the "American" Dream Life!

Some days I'm overwhelmed by the responsibility of being a wife and a mother.  When I read His word and seek His original design for my life I'm in awe of how far I am from the blue print; however, I know that with His guidance and a willing heart He will yet mold me into His master design...

ISAIAH 64:8
Yet you, LORD, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

Come journey with me as I step through the lies (this might get raw and real) and reveal His truth!

PSALM 139:14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well!
