Things God Has Taught Me From My Short Time of Motherhood

In honor of Mother's Day, here are just a few things God has taught me since Levi was born just a few short months ago. I could probably expand quite a bit on each of these (and maybe I will in the future), but I'm tired and need to be starting dinner soon, haha :P

  1. I never realize how selfish I was until I become a mom.

  2. Even though I may be sleep deprived, that is no excuse to sin against my husband or in my private thoughts.

  3. The Lord really is my strength.

  4. Drawing strength from the Lord is a CHOICE – an extremely hard one when I'm sleep deprived because it's much easier to get cranky and rely on my flesh instead.

  5. I didn't know God could use something as normal as motherhood to be such an extraordinary sanctification device.
