Moms, You ROCK! This Short Video Confirmes it!

Last night I was sitting up in the bed feeling just like a true mommy failure!  All the "mommy mistakes" that I had made that day were racing through my mind like an Olympic sprinter.  I had yelled too much, I did not respond kindly to the millionth question they had asked me within a 30 minute period.  And to top that off, my oldest keeps fussing at her little sister.  They argue and are rude to one another at times, especially the oldest one to the younger.  I allowed them to watch too much TV, did not feed them the most nutritious dinner, and on top of all that, I know they heard me utter one or four curse words as I did a load of laundry, unloaded the dryer, vacuumed the floor, dusted, cleaned the bathrooms, cooked dinner and ironed clothes.  

In my mind, not only had I failed my kids, but surely the Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth must be down right sick of me.  All of a sudden I had the urge to scroll through Facebook, and I am so glad I did.  I know social media outlets get a bum rap at times, but last night I know that my perusing Facebook was divinely appointed.  All of a sudden a short video from Pastor Joyce Meyers came up.  At first I was not going to view it because, as you know, when you are in a true pity party, the last thing you or the devil wants you to do is hear from God.  But I did and it spoke DIRECTLY to my mommy condemnation, guilt, self pity and mommy low self esteem.  It is really short but powerful!

 

So mom's, like Joyce Meyers says, we moms are amazing and "Rock!"  The truth is I really am a great mother, and  I am sure you are also.  There is nothing the devil would like more than for you and I to entertain negative self talk and stinking thinking.  Am I perfect?  NO!  Do I need to improve in some areas?  OF COURSE! But for the most part, in my heart of hearts, I am an incredible mom, wife, home maker, cook, cleaner, negotiator, conflict resolver, personal shopper, bill payer, deal maker, dentist, doctor, lawyer, mental health provider, accountant, investor, hair stylist, teacher, taxi driver, therapist, preacher, and any other profession that my kids and hubby need me to be so our household can function properly and peacefully.

Moms, there is nothing wrong with taking a overview of your parenting and seeking ways to be more effective and impactful.  After doing so, and you see that you are doing a pretty great job, glean on the fact that we moms are truly amazing!
