I used to lament, how many more years do I have to give my kids. Now, I learn to take everyday as a gift.
So few years ago, I prayed earnestly to have joy in the midst of this parenting journey. During my melt downs, my self pity parties, my builtup frustration, I seek Him. He has moulded me in such subtle ways that I hardly know I'm growing stronger, wiser and happier everyday. I learn to intentionally let go of unrealistic expectations, crazy datelines, and raw raging emotions.
Every night, I will kiss my children when they are sound asleep, then my heart will be filled with brimming gratitude. I know I dun see deserve such wonderful kids, I snap, I pout, I scream, I overreact .... My kids just simply love me nevertheless. Finally, I will instinctively utter: "Thank you Father for your immense Grace. I know I can finish this race with you and with JOY! I don't run alone! Amen! "
