Just A Mom?

OK... So here goes, my first Blog Post.

So, the whole idea of this blogging thing, had me a little intimidated. What in the world, would someone like me have to blog about? I decided to do a little research and I spent some time reading other blogs. I figured  that this would be reassuring. HAHA first thing that came to my mind---" I am in no way that clever or funny".  After all, I am just a Mom.

Well, I walked away and thought, I am just going to forget the whole thing. Then I heard this voice in my head saying "just a mom? Really" Then it hit me that there is no such thing as "just a Mom"

 Proverbs 31:26-31 "She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: Many woman 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. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. *

This really encouraged me, Mothers are a special breed, they were designed by the Lord with a purpose. As I read this , I realize that God created Mothers to be so much more than "just a mom".

Many days, I feel that my life is a circle of mundane tasks, and then I notice the words of this verse and I see that I am making a difference. The things I do each day, may seem redundant and of little value to me, but they are beyond noble.

Therefore, this first blog is not about baked goods or my LOVE of anything and everything sweet. 

It is more about the sweet words of My God, words of encouragement, words that prove that there is no such thing as "just a mom"

In His Grace,
