Wonderful word, Lara! I agree that it is challenging to find that balance of me-them in family, marriage, parenting, ministry, the works.

But God gives us our life events to change others– but also to be transformed in Him. Thank you for this reminder 🙂 Blessings!

I love your comment, Tina. So much truth. I’m right there with you, “I didn’t realize all my faults…until I started to have children.” Serious sanctification going on.

Very true. I do believe that God puts us in relationships with other so that he can grow us. So that he can draw us closer to Him. My kids and my husband are my biggest teachers.

One of my sister’s in law told me once that she believes that God gives us the exact children, in number and personalities, to work in our lives His purpose and sanctification, to complete His work in us. She laughingly said that God had/has a lot of work to do in her, because she had six kids! I did not realize all my faults, weaknesses and sin until I started to have children! And that unveiling never ends! Perfectionism, control; these are sins that I didn’t realize existed in me until I had babies. Motherhood is a humbling experience! But more wonderful than can be described! I thank God every day for my children.

Lara, I’m right there with you…always thinking that I’m here to train my kids to love Jesus and find out that the words I say to them are really for me.

I love the cat photo. In fact, I think that is the only way I like cats. 🙂 Seriously though, great reminder. There is ALWAYS something to learn.

Most days, I realize it is really MORE about the training of me than the training of them. I am so in process!!! Who knew motherhood would be the hammer and chiseling place in my life!
