Being a Mother

Two things, one, I looked at a post I wrote a year ago. It was about a prayer I had. Here is the prayer:

“I am praying that God will give me the energy, the strength and the skills to be able to mother many. It will be easy to see when this prayer is answered. I will, most of the time, be able to keep up with basic housework, keep my momentum/sanity most of the time and I will feel like I have energy left over. I suspect that AFTER children are added to the family, I will need to start praying it all over again. But for now, I wait expectantly for His answer and I keep pursuing a successful day. Day by day.” (From here)

God has answered my prayer. Most days I have more energy to do more than the minimum. Most days feel efficient. I am learning, by jingo and God has not been idle! Praise God!

Secondly, I had an extended Bible/God/Prayer time this morning and God spoke to me through this verse:
It’s Proverbs 14:4.

It says to me that life can be messy, but fruitful.

” 4Where no oxen are, the manger is clean,
But much revenue comes by the strength of the ox.”

I think it speaks truthfully about children, among other things.
