Getting Ugly
That is what I did today….i got Ugly! What does that mean? Well getting ugly is that all out crying moment when you can’t control tears, sobs…..anything. It’s that moment you fall to your knees and cry out to Jesus for your sanity’s sake. It’s that moment you have nothing left to give this world, and you need strength, mercy and grace lest you end up on the 5 o’clock news! (You hopefully understand that I said that to make a point!) It’s the breaking point where you have no where else to turn.
I have been catching up all week on a Bible Study God laid on my heart to join….4 weeks late! AMAZING thing is, i have almost accomplished that goal! So why all the ugly? Why today? Why now?

WEEK 3-When You Don’t Measure Up
Whether it’s the ideal I have formed in my own head or the ideals of others….OR my comparison of myself to others i won’t measure up….NOT ONE SIGLE BIT!
There is one place though that I can measure up….Christ! Not that I am perfect, as He is, but Grace! His Grace makes it so I and everyone around me no matter our differences can measure up.

Hope for the Weary Mom- Playing Catch Up Week 2
WEEK 2-
This was a very challenging chapter! It went against everything I have been taught as a pastor’s wife. It goes against advice, it goes against examples of nearly every pastor’s wife I know.
So what is the lesson…..WEAKNESS. As a pastor’s wife I am not expected to have any. I am to be solid as a rock. Children are to be angelic. Home, immaculate.
Then why 2 Corinthians 12:9-10?
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Hope For the Weary Mom-week 1, Playing Catch Up
I know the link up on Hope for the Weary Mom’s book club is closed but i still wanted to participate with my thoughts!
I will share thoughts for each week on Fridays! But until I get caught up expect four or five posts sooner!
I look forward to sharing my journey with you!
May God bless!
WEEK 1-
“Be honest about where i am right now.”- this is very difficult for me right, now and I will explain more of this in a later post, but this concept challenged me more than anything!
“Openly invite Christ into my life EVERY day to walk and work with me.”- this is challenging for me specifically, because every morning as soon as the alarm goes off, i fly into task mode. Our kids get on the bus a little after 7 each morning and we are ALL up at 6. I hate living like this but 5 or 5:30 has been tried and it works for a few days but then WHAM! Exhaustion!
