I came across this new blog & am really excited about reading it. I thought I would share it with you! Here is an excerpt from her post earlier this week.
Perfection vs. Balance
The world calls us to be “perfect” mothers, but I believe God calls us to be “balanced” mothers.
A “perfect” mother puts appearance above relationship. A “balanced” mother sacrifices appearance for relationship.
A “perfect” mother seeks approval from others. A “balanced” mother seeks approval from God.
A “perfect” mother finds reward in perceived success. A “balanced” mother’s reward is a peaceful heart, family and home.
A “perfect” mother perpetuates the lie and spreads disillusionment. A “balanced” mother breaks the lie and spreads hope, truth and inspiration.
The Challenge
The challenge for us today is to focus on being balanced rather than perfect. That every moment we’d love our children more than our clean house or the approving look of a stranger. That our confidence, strength, hope and identity would be found in God and the trust He’s put in us by giving us His perfect little gifts that look to us and call us “Mommy.”
