Our identity as "Mommy" lies in WHO we are, not it WHAT we do.
As Christian Moms, I feel like we try too hard sometimes to BE all and DO all for our children and in turn squeeze out what the Holy Spirit may be wanting to do in our children's lives. We must remember that it is the GOODNESS of God that leads man to repentance... trust God's goodness to shine through you more than you trust in your own strength to manifest goodness to them... goodness in you is the fruit of the Spirit working in you... not the works of human strength. I know that my personal encounter with God came clearly by the Holy Spirit who swept down into the midst of our dark family life and pulled us out into His light. Wow! Let's lean more on prayer and the Holy Spirit than we do in our A, B & C's to parenting and salvation...
You alone are Father
and You alone are Good
You alone are Savior
and You, alone are GOD
