"As is the Mother, so is the Daughter." Ezekiel 16:44 Wow! Talk about responsibility right! If we weren't feeling the pressure before-man! Being a Mother is such a great privilege, but also such a huge awesome responsibility! So many days I feel the weight of it, and feel like I don't measure up. Am I doing all I should with my kids?

Do your children see you burdened with stress and anxiety? When you have a problem and you need help from another person, are you able to share your burdens with a friend, a brother or sister in Christ? Or do they see you allowing the Body of Christ to fulfill its purpose here on earth, through ministering to you? What do your kids see? Our kids watch us don’t they? I am convicted [...]
