Wow, seems so odd that I’m not going to be able to say just “BOYS” for long. Its just unreal to me. I’ve loved just having boys. These guys are great and will be wonderful BIG brothers to their little sister. For me, its a weird sorta sad/happy feeling of not being a mom to just boys. I can’t really explain it. Everyone thought I ALWAYS wanted a girl and I did ( I think)…. now its about to happen and its sorta sad leaving the chapter of JUST HAVING boys! Hmmmm odd feeling. Sorta the feeling you get when your kid starts a new grade in school…. a new chapter…. sorta hard to close the last one.

I was reading this morning since I got up early to have my quiet time after Brian and Gregory left for basketball practice. Reading about how we are like clay jars. Meant to be broken in pieces.

Its really is important to embrace the fact that I’m a CLAY JAR. I’m weak. I’m tired. I grow weary. Our weakness can make us strong in Christ. As a Mom that weakness shows daily! Impatience and Tiredness at times. I need to embrace this and realize that HE doesn’t grow tired, impatient or weary. I need to lean on him for strength and learn to take a break or a nap and not keep doing when I know I need that break.

“Moms, we can walk in our weakness. We can boast in our weakness and confess our need for Jesus. Ironically, this gives us the right kind of confidence. We don’t have to walk with a limp, focussed on ourselves. We walk confidently, not in our ability not in our ability, but in the ability of our Savior. We walk confidently, not in our strength, but in HIS. It is good to be a jar of Clay” Mom Enough
