I spent most of my quiet time today in prayer, but I am not going to write them out today.
Then, I felt the need to read through Proverbs 31, as I do often to get myself focused and in check with what my role should look like as a Godly wife and mother. I wasn't being the nicest person today, just felt kind of off and God always let me know pretty quick in my heart to knock it off and spend some time in prayer with Him confessing my sins and asking for forgiveness.
I shared with Mark that I was realizing that just because I have been having awesome consistent quiet times with my Lord doesn't mean I will automatically all of a sudden overnight be the woman God intends for me to be. It's a silly frustration I know if you really think about it, but I guess I unconsciously expected that or something through all of this, but of course I know that is not the case. It takes time and a gradual chipping away at my heart to resemble God's and I have to intentionally and purposefully wake up every day ready for the battle and actually work at it and be in constant prayer.
A side note I have to document...As Mark and I were putting Sam to bed we were telling Sam that Jesus probably didn't cry when he went to preschool:) (something he has reverted back to a little) and Sam insisted He did and we were going back and forth and Mark asked him how he knew this and he paused and said...because He emailed me. It was classic delivery and we all laughed for a while:)
