Fight a good fight

I was troubled this morning. Sometimes being a mummy is simply overwhelming. We put every 'blame' on ourselves and sabotage our very well intentional desire to be a good mum. 

My three wonderful kiddos are not doing well in their life skills and obviously I suffered the guilt syndrome.  I have been very purposeful in teaching my kids values. Apparently, they did not imbibe along that way. 

So after seeking the Lord for wisdom and comfort, I feel the increasing calmness, hope and strength. I believe there were well meaning friends who prayed for me too. Thank u! 

This 'battle' is lifelong and it will get fiercer as they grow older. I know I will have the wisdom, creativity, joy and will be the living testimony to show them those values. I may err but I will learn. These incidents are life lessons for me to teach them intentionally and not to be discouraged! 

I will Fight a good fight and be purposeful in my parenting! Lord, be my light!
