Ultimate love is laying down my life for someone else; giving up my agenda to follow God's leading for the good of someone else.
Homeschooling is a huge sacrifice on behalf of my kids. Just being a mom is a sacrifice, but being a homeschool mom is different. Choosing to be with your kids 24/7 and be the main influence in their lives. That's quite a sacrifice.
But some days, I'm jealous. I compare myself to other moms. I feel like I don't measure up.
Some days, I'm selfish. I want to sleep longer. I want to do what I want. Forget the dishes, the cooking, the cleaning. Forget the math and the reading.
And God has to bring me back to this reality…
God has called me to my family.
My family doesn't look like your family.
My kids are not your kids.
My house is not your house.
I am not you.
My calling is not your calling.
And your calling is not my calling.
God has called me to follow Him. He's called me to be faithful to what He requires of me for my family.
That's the loving God and loving other that I need to pursue.
I'm linking up with Women in the Word Wednesdays and Moms Mustard Seed Planting.
