Motherhood is tiring. I think all of the Mommies in the house just shouted their hearty agreement. We all know it well this time of year, despite our planning and such to make it otherwise.
It's like 24/7 type of tiring.
I was in a conversation with a friend today and I mentioned that motherhood is tiring. She said,
"Motherhood is tiring, BUT there is grace."
It echoed through me for hours afterward. Motherhood is tiring.
BUT, there is grace!
Yes, I feel drained sometimes,
BUT, there is grace!
Yep, I can't always think clearly,
BUT, there is grace!
You're right that I sometimes get discouraged,
BUT, there is grace!
Just now Hebrews 4:16 comes to mind,
"Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Lately, I think stepping back and acknowledging this... Yes, I am not enough. It's true.
BUT, there is grace!
Drawing near to the throne, I find what I need!
Refuse to stay in the drained state of fatigue and discouragement. Refuse to continue on in failure and pity.
Shout "BUT, there is grace!" to yourself. It's what I'll be shouting this week as the Lord takes me higher and further into spiritual victory.
