Purpose
Well, today has been an eh kind of day. Nothing super exciting happened, but not overly boring. Today was day 10 since Tyler got his tonsils out so I made him waffles to try and see if he could eat them ok, and he did. I'll be happy when he can go back to school on Monday. I'm pretty sure they miss him and need him back lol. I shouldn't think like that that about him, but he's starting to act like me and it's aggravating.
He has my attitude and he mirrors me so stinking well, I hate it. I hate seeing what I look like at times. It's hard to see the truth, but kids will speak and show the truth constantly. Most of his life, I have been selfish and just did whatever I wanted to. He picked that up from me, but I keep telling myself that he's only 5 and he can change. On June 12, God gave me a heart transplant and I'm forever changed. My habits are getting better the closer I get to God. So I pray that the boys will pick up my good habits now and lose the bad.
I know that most parents will agree with me when I say that parenting is hard. With parenting comes sacrifice. A lot of people don't understand that. They think that since they had kids, they can still continue to do whatever they want. Some days it's easy to do, and other days I struggle like a bug caught in a web. My kids are my priority. I'm blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom. I get to see everything my kids do for the first time, I love it. Some days I can't wait to go to bed because the tantrums and attitudes were overwhelming. But if I don't do the hard job and discipline, then nobody will and my kids will most likely end up in prison or in trouble all the time.
Some days I get discouraged because I think, "is this it? Is this my purpose in life?" I have hopes and dreams that I'd love to accomplish. Right now I'm in the mommy season of my life. My job is crucial to my kids. I need to do it well because when they leave our house, society gets them. Parenting is extremely important, and I think that sometimes the hum drum of everyday gets in the way of us remembering that.
God created us to be hopeful and to dream. He wants us to bring them to Him and talk to Him about it. He also has placed desires in our hearts as well. One of my biggest desires is to adopt. I was adopted and if I can bring one child in off the street and show them real love, I would be so happy. I don't know what God wants me to do with that desire. Maybe He will allow us to adopt, but maybe He wants me to pray for others who are going through the process. To pray for all the children who need homes. In His timing, He will let me know what to do.
Another dream of mine is to be a writer and/or speaker. I get stage fright, but where I am weak, He is strong. At the same time, I can't just limit God to these things. If I'm willing, He can use me for even more than I ever thought possible. Anything is possible with God. It's a good thing to have hopes, dreams, and goals. We should have hopes, dreams, and goals!
So going back to purpose. You might be a mom, dad, police man, mail carrier, server, etc., but that's not all we have to be. God has chosen all of us for greater things! Are you ready to find your purpose? I know I am. I'm tired of just living and going day to day, I want to experience the supernatural power of God and what He can do. I want to change lives for Him! I want to make a difference in this world and change it for good. The only thing is, you can't do it without Him. Sure you could start your own business and become a millionaire, but that will leave you empty. There's no purpose, there's no fullness of life without Him. I'm not just saying this because I read it somewhere, I won't share anything here that I have not experienced. God has a specific purpose for all of us. He's just waiting on us to realize that and come to Him.
If you are feeling down or depressed because you feel worthless and that this is it, this is all my life is going to be...look up. Have hope because He has a purpose for you...
