I read this about a month ago, and it really messed me up. I've been thinking, "I suck at this. I don't know what I'm doing." I MUST get it out of my head.
Kids are kids. Even the ones with the very best parents act bad sometimes. Potty training after age 3 is NORMAL. Tantrums are NORMAL. And most moms get burnt out from cleaning messes and repeating themselves all day every day. "Stop! Don't! Quit! No! Put that down!"
My kids act up. They don't listen. But I'm not a bad mom. I try my very hardest. I give my 100% all the time, yet I constantly feel that it's not enough. I AM ENOUGH.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."
