Motherhood has been THE HARDEST THING I have ever “done”. I continually feel like a failure, and wonder if it will ever get easier…

But, I KNOW that God is the one in control. He is the one raising my children, despite my failures. He will use my strengths and weaknesses to shape them. I do pray, like you, that even through my failures I can point them to Him. They need Jesus. Mommy needs Jesus, too.

Loving this series!
