What God has been teaching me (Kaley)…

Being a mom has been such a blessing. At times very rewarding and others exhausting! But it truly has been a blessing none the less. Being a mom has been really tough at times because I am reminded daily of how sinful and selfish I am. They say that getting married is truly a sanctification process which it is but when you add in being a mom it has me thinking this sanctification process is too hard! The other day Ramiyah was truly acting up, not listening and purposely doing things I told her not too. As you can imagine I was very annoyed and overwhelmed. This same week I just happen to be in the Old Testament reading through Joshua and Judges. I kept reading about how the people of Israel kept going back to false gods and worshiping idols even after all that God had done for them. God would discipline them because He loved them and he always came back. It hurts to have Ramiyah disobey me and to see her hurt when I discipline her but at the end of the day I will always love her and welcome her back with open arms. God never failed to remind me that I too disobey Him at times and would put me in Ramiyah’s shoes but that He too is always there with open arms. I am so grateful and thankful to serve a God who loves me and is extremely patient with me as I grow as His child. Please be praying for our family as we prepare to add another child into our family.
