In every generation, women, mothers,
must answer the call to be what no one else can be and do what no one
else can do for their children - mother. This doesn't limit a woman
but challenges her to a higher commitment. It's so easy to feel
unappreciated, unchallenged, over challenged, bored or unable to
fulfil the role. Frustration can run rampant. But God wants us to
lift our eyes up out of our present situation and seek His face and
vision for our children. Increasingly, the world needs women willing
to really invest the time and effort it takes to pursue this vision.
Will you be that woman?
Are you frustrated in this moment?
Look up and look ahead! What will you have wished you had been doing
in ten or twenty years? Are you doing it now? Plan accordingly.
Solomon wrote:
A prudent man sees
danger and takes refuge,
but the simple keep
going and suffer for it. (Prov. 22:3)
Moreover, he wrote this
again in Proverbs 27:12. No doubt, he repeated it because he wanted
to emphasize just how important it is to look ahead, assess the
situation and change direction as needed.
Is it time for some personal
healing? Time to allow some repressed feelings to bubble up and deal
with to enable healthier responses to those around us? Really, it's
OK if you need to get professional help to figure things out and
moreover, it's alright to ask a mentor or rally some close and
trusted Christian friends to pray and help you along the way.
Press in and press on,
Giselle
