Do you ever wonder...

Do you ever wonder...

* if you are doing things right?

* like making sure your baby is getting the right amount of veggies, fruit, milk...

* if in ten years it will matter if she wouldn't eat veggies that day (week)?

* if you are giving all of your children enough attention individually?

* if I am a good enough wife to my hubbie?

* in general, am I good enough?

* will they remember the nights I cooked leftovers instead of a new meal?

* will they care?

* what your kids will remember most about their childhood?

* why do I think these things?

I wonder these things. I think about them a lot! I wish I didn't because it makes me constantly criticize myself, which I do not enjoy. It makes me feel unworthy to have such a wonderful life, kids, and husband.

BUT...

in our bible study, I have realized that there is a promise for you and me. God knew us before we were even born, he knew our thoughts and our hearts. And even knowing these facts about us, he still lovingly and carefully created us. He found me worthy enough, now I need to find myself worthy enough, and stop caring about leftovers or if I am a supermom. That doesn't matter as much as realizing the value of my life, and how God loved me enough to find a husband that loves me, and to give us three beautiful children.

Ephesians 1:3-4 ~ How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ. Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.

Because of Christ, we are holy and blameless in his sight. God looks at us as if we had never sinned. God chose us.

This truth, gets me through my days when I question myself. I truly appreciate the bible study that I am involved in, the women that I have met through it, and the knowledge and insight I am gaining.
