LIfe

Life has had it's hard parts these last few months.  I feel as though I have struggled more than normal.  I feel as woman that we look down on ourselves a lot. We are never good enough at being wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, neighbors, etc...  I fall in this category a lot and I know that it is the work of Satan, because I know he doesn't want us to feel good about what we have done or how good we are.  We seem to only see the bad in ourselves. I hate feeling like this, I feel week and vulnerable.  I guess that is maybe something that the Lord is trying to teach me, to try to find the good in myself and others.   Finding strength in your weaknesses is what this life is about right.  Another fault would be forgiveness, and the Lord is doing his best at teaching me how to forgive as well.  Sometimes forgiveness is the hardest part.

What I have to smile about:
Jase is so excited about turning 5 we hear about it everyday!

Gage thinks that as soon as Jase turns 5 he is turning 4.

Blaze is army crawling everywhere!  His 2 bottom teeth have finally come in.  There for a little while he was a grump but he has finally returned to his normal happy boy!

Hang in there....I seem to really struggle at times as well. Especially when I compare myself to what other mothers are doing and accomplishing with their children. Some days I feel absolutely worthless, but like you my children give me lots to smile about and I pray every day that I'll be able to accomplish that which is most important, to remain positive and to do the best I can. Anyway, I know you're a good mom, Heavenly Father hears and answers your prayers....good luck!
