Why...
It was quite humbling to sit across the table at dinner the other night from an old ex-friend. This friend was one whom I was sure I had immortally wronged about 10 years ago. A friend that had been so close and then had become one of my "worst enemies". Truly over something silly. But I was right! And, so was she! As we humbly sat across from each other (apologies had previously been given and accepted) I felt so embarrassed that I had ever acted that way....and that there was someone sitting there that knew how I could act! I've done an excellent job hiding my messiness, my sin, the real me! Even the mess in my house gets cleaned before I have company over...even the ones I love and trust!So- three of us sat there at dinner, and we talked about how the blogs of our homeschool friends, and supermoms we don't know, always show those perfect clean-cut pictures...and why doesn't someone have a blog that exposes the mess? SO- it has been born!


My point in exposing the mess, is to reveal my need for Him who washes all white as snow, to remind ME that I need Him, to remind me with Him, I can be a supermom....not because of who I am, but because of who He is and because I am His! With Him and His help, I have accomplished a lot, even if the house is a wreck! Lastly, this is to remind me to be content with the mess. Life is messy BUT without the mess, I wouldn't need my wonderful, sweet Jesus!!!
Love this! I've been blogging since 2003? Or something crazy like that..I started way back as a way for family to keep up with us. It's so true tho that it's so hard to show the mess, both physical and spiritual...but it is such a relief to know that God is there to pick up my pieces.
ReplyDeleteI do have to remind myself a lot that all the blog I love to peruse are normal moms/wives/women like myself and everything isn't always put together like the pretty pictures ;)
God is good! Thank you for stopping by! ;)
