Dying to Be a Homemaker (my first attempt at being humble)

When I bring my children with me to the grocery story, I often get comments on how well-raised and godly they are. The other day a lady at the grocery store, told me: “You must be a supermom with the patience of Job.” Note that I only had four of my nine children with me at that time...

The truth is that I'm tired of being called a supermom and superwoman all the time. Some days are hard on me. Sometimes I do grow weary. This super-woman-thing is a compelling force that robs me of rest. Unless you have it, you probably don’t know what a burden it is. I lose sleep.

I have to die daily, which is incredibly hard too. I have to crucify my flesh every day. It’s painful. But it’s what we’re called to do. It’s just that most of us won't do it, but I will.

Painful as it is, I'm thankful for all these opportunities to have my “self” die a little more each day. I’ve never felt so free and at peace as I do to the Lord who loves me more than I love myself (and I do love myself a LOT).

Are you angry, anxious, bitter, lonely, tired? Buy my book and find everything you ever wanted.
