Parenting, motherhood, and marriage is a purifying, sanctifying process. I've been reminded so much lately that my life is about sacrifice. It's about living for someone besides me. And I can choose to have a rotten attitude about it, look at all of the imperfections and long lists that I'm not accomplishing, and make everyone else miserable. Or, I can choose to find joy in sacrifice, like you are choosing. Waterdeep (http://www.waterdeep.com/songs/ifyou) has been a huge encouragement to me lately. These lyrics are the truth about my life lately:<BR/>"And the bush it was burning on the mountain top<BR/>And though the leaves never blackened, the fire didn’t stop<BR/>That’s the way that it works in this old life of sin<BR/>You gotta let the fire burn you just to get clean within."<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for sharing and encouraging. You're a true friend and a great mom.Jessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10364535282965083062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137040847366062797.post-62942277794078812202008-11-06T04:40:00.000-08:002008-11-06T04:40:00.000-08:00thanks shelly, i also am teary eyed. might just ha...thanks shelly, i also am teary eyed. might just have to link to this post to encourage some other women I know...and don't know. off to make my list. there's got to be a crayon around here somewhere...ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599871838824233964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137040847366062797.post-48492062100039987852008-11-05T09:12:00.000-08:002008-11-05T09:12:00.000-08:00Your post brought tears to my eyes.
