My Role
In the last 5 years it has come to me that God wants me to serve Him by serving my family. That is contrary to what the world wants me to believe - no big surprise that God's way is not the way of the world, is it?! But He gave me the role and joy of being a mother for a reason and I honour Him when I enjoy that role. And I have His model of parenting to follow - His always giving, always sacrificing, always waiting, always loving model. So my calling and my time are my gifts with which to serve Him.

You are such an amazing woman Crystal and a great role model for so many of us.
ReplyDeleteProverbs 31:29
" Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all. Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
I thought of this text when I read your post, actually Proverbs 31: 10-31. The whole passage. Have a great day. I love reading your blog and keeping in touch despite the busyness.
Thanks for sharing, Mom. I often feel like that, too. It's been incredibly challenging going back to work and still feeling like I'm serving and loving my family first. I really love and appreciate the role of motherhood. You are an amazing mom, who serves and sacrifices an awesome amount for her family. I love you!
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more. Being a mother is such an amazing role, a true gift from God really! There are so many days when I fail, when I make mistakes and am not the mother that I know God wants or desires me to be, however thank goodness for his mercy and grace! Your blog is so encouraging and uplifting especially in this world that desires such a different path and role from us! It is also very clear the love, time and sacrifice you make joyfully for your family--you are a great role model indeed! God Bless You!
