Over the course of the past few snow days, I have been catching up on the blogs of both my friends and some of the blogs that they frequent. I am amazed by the amount of different types of moms/friends that I have. I also am intrigued by moms on several of the blog sites that I have visited. (At some point I will learn how to embed their sites into my posts.)
I have loving, structured, godly, creative, patient, cool, calm, educational, well-planned, involved, sarcastic, energetic, organized, crafty, funny, and crazy-busy mom friends. Some of the sites that I visited showed very chic mom's and what the have done with rooms, photographs, etc. Getting to my point, I started to ask myself the question, "What kind of mom am I?"
Other than crazy-busy, I don't feel that I fall into any one of those above-mentioned categories. I try to be most of those things, but end up falling short, way, short. I can honestly give excuses for most of my shortcomings, but I don't want to do that. I want to be a better mom. I want to be the type of mom that God intended for me to be....I just don't know what that is yet.
Am I alone in this feeling?
I will be praying for direction and guidance toward the path of maternal leadership that God intends. What kind of mom will I turn out to be?

No you are not alone! ...I wonder all the time what I'm supposed to be doing with these kids, aside from just surviving, ya know? I aspire to be certain things and then realize that's not who I am, you know?
ReplyDeleteBe authentically you and you will be the best mom that God could hope for. And I think the authentic you is caring, determined, funny and hella patient.
You go Mama!
I know what your saying and I really think all moms go through that. Don't be hard on your self just pray about it and God will guide you I feel that way sometimes. But then I realize as long as I'm leading my kids closer to the lord and love them. It will all work out. And from what I seen you are a good mom.
