As the mom of a 2 year old who is perfecting the skill of throwing fits and a 5 month old who has forgotten how to sleep through the night, here it is, what I've learned...
I've also been clinging to the promise that...
One of the hardest lessons that I've been learning; however, is that the "all things" that the verse refered to is not ALL things in general (thus the top lesson comes in to play). Christ will not strengthen me to do every little nit-picky thing that I used to do - back in my 1 child or no child days. He will strengthen me to do only the things that I am called to do for his Glory. That does not always include everything on my "all things" list. Not an easy lesson for someone who likes to get things done as much as I do. Sometimes he only strengthens me enough to get through the day with everyone still in one piece.
