I'm Still Learning...

Let me explain, (to the two people who read my blog..he,he) that the following post (which I posted this morning)is not a venting session. I was inspired, recently, by two sisters in Christ, to be a little more open about my struggles as a Christian mother/ wife/ woman. Their honesty and openness was a blessed relief to me. I had previously felt that I was the only one who struggled with certain things. To know that I was not alone helped me to be less hard on myself and to reach out to others who struggle like me with some specific issues, as Christians.

So, with that lesson on my mind, (and a whole lot more), I decided this morning to share that I struggle too. And that I'm so thankful that God does not give up on me, and IS helping me.

Now, don't worry, I won't become some gushing fountain of complaints with no filter. :) But, I have learned through the Secret Sister's ministry and the "Gathering of Mothers" day, at church, that we must lean on and encourage one another more. My prayer is that God will help me to do this.

"He tends His flock like a shepherd;
He gathers the lambs in His arms and carries them close to His heart;
He gently leads those that have young."
Isaiah 40:11
