Family

FAMILY....you love them and hate them all together.  These days I am learning what I want and what I don't want to repeat in my own family. What is good and what is really bad.  Marriage and parenting is hard.  I get that.  I see that more each day.  And I also see that what God calls us to in each of those areas is sooooo different than what the world is screaming to us each day about what a wife and mom is.  God, help me each day to have ears to hear what you think of me and what you want me to be in my roles as a daughter of You, a wife, and a mom.  Let me fight life patterns that have been passed down from so many generations that are WRONG.  And let me learn and imitate all the lovely beautiful things that have been passed on to me too.  And thanks for Your GRACE that you have showered on me to get to me to where I am today.
