Prayer For The Day

Today my daily parenting Prayer book reads:

"Lord, thank You that I can partner with You in raising my child and that I don't have to do it alone. I'm greatful that I can have clear directions from Your Word and wisdom as I pray to You for answers."

Reflection:

I don't think I pray enough to God regarding the upbringing of my children so therefore Im not hearing any answers. This is a time when I'm in desperate need of answers. My daughter is teething so she's fussy all the time. My 2 year old son is VERY 2 at the moment and has been extremely defiant on purpose lately. AND, my 6 year old is struggling in school and at the same time having a power struggle with my 2 year old.

I'm honestly starting to believe having children is a lot like juggling. One: super easy. It's very easy to keep your eye on one ball. Two: a little tougher. On a good day, with good concentration you can do well with 2, even though sometimes you may drop the ball. Three: you have to have talent and LOTS of practice. I am VERY much still in practice mode, but I feel like one day I may get the hang of it!

My challenge to you: Work full time, keep a 3000sf house clean, keep your spouse happy 90% of the time....all while juggling 3 balls!
