Becoming a better mum.

I thought by the time I was giving birth to my first born, she was going to be raised by one awesome, perfect, loving mother. Little did I know that through her, I was going to come to terms with my own weaknesses as a person. I have more than ever before realized how I need Jesus to help me raise my kids. They are wonderful, but through them I have come to terms with the weaknesses of a choleric personality that highly dominates my life and more so now that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.  However, all I can say is that I have not yet made it but surely the Lord has been faithful in using them to work on my patience and anger and many other areas. I must say I am a better person now and motherhood has worked on my character the works!

My husband sometime tells me, I can’t believe you handled that issue that way. You have changed – he means I have changed for the better. Hallelujah! With time I have learn that the hardest battle to win are those within than those on the outside and trust you me, I am a better Mum than I was three years ago, I think my what we like to call the last born is in better hands that my first born, I have been worked on by the Lord, some lessons have been painful as I come to terms with my sinful nature. However, I have learnt secret to becoming a better Mum is submitting yourself to God and to the leading of His Holy spirit. I just love the Lord!
