Learning to Parent

As I was talking with my son's grandmother today, God gave me a picture of my life as a mother. The analogy He gave me was that of a baby learning to walk.

Sometimes I wobble and I fall down. Sometimes I wobble, but then I catch myself. Still other times I take good steps. Sometimes I take multiple ones in a row and get to thinking I am home free only to fall flat on my butt. Then God scoops down, picks me up, brushes me off, gives me a hug and sends me on my way. Each time though I am learning how to "walk" better.

I just need to keep my eyes on Jesus and my heart submitted to allowing Him to do what He wants.

Philippians 1:6 (Amplified Bible)

And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you.
