    My second baby will be graduating from high school this Saturday. I think she has invited everyone she has ever known to her party on Sunday afternoon. We are tired from all the preparations, but rejoicing! She is downstairs practicing her song for graduation, Just As I Am, with three of her siblings. It is such a blessing that she believes that song typifies her life at this point. God has been so faithful, even as I am so unfaithful. Be encouraged in your steadfastness mothers of young children! “Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6. I’m preaching to myself as well, with six more coming along!

    Blessings,

    Oh, Cindy! Thank you so much for sharing this encouragement in the Lord! My oldest graduated last week, and I was dealing with those very feelings of being unfaithful because I hadn’t done everything perfectly. Plus that feeling of “Enough. I’m tired. Let the others coast.” Thank you for speaking God’s Word to those lies in my head. Of course we can’t do this in our own strength! God is the faithful One, and anything we can accomplish is because of Him. What a great reminder and motivator! To Him be the glory!

    Ok, this is a God thing that I’m reading this because I, too, have been struggling with my spirit about “not getting it done.” I have questioned the Lord in my prayer time with “Lord, are these thoughts from you because you want me to ‘step it up’ or are they from the devil?” If nothing else, these thoughts have forced me to my knees which in turn has calmed the storm within. I know that the Lord is good, I know that He daily gives me new mercies, I know that I can do this to the ‘end’! Thanks for encouraging us who still have a few years ahead! *Lynnette
