Before the sun sets again

So, I've decide to start blogging a little. If you know me, this is a little odd b/c technology and me aren't exactly besties! :) but here I am. I intend to simply share my heart and the lessons my Heavenly Father is teaching me. 

So today I find myself in a place I have found myself waaayyy too many times before. I'm stuck in the dangerous web of comparing. You know the drill. If I were only as ______ as _______. However, sense becoming a mommy (my son is now 1) the enemy has waged an all together new attack with this comparing game. Countless times I feel his spotlight shinning on me pointing out all the areas where I'm not quite measuring up as a mom. And to be honest I have sat Idly by and let him do it.  So much so that I really don't need his help anymore. I do it myself. And it has become a slippery slope. I have traded a huge portion of my identity in Christ in for the lie that I am for 50,000 different reasons not good enough. Today is no different except that I have decided I am done playing his game. I have been idle too long. God has been stirring this in me for awhile and it's time to put my faith in action. To stand up before the sun sets again and say ENOUGH!  I will not accept the lie that I am not good enough any longer. Why? B/c God says so. He made me, and He says I'm wonderful. 

Psalm 139:13-18 For you created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;your works are wonderful,I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body;all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you. 

This passage of scripture is very familiar to me. But I have not let the full weight of it permeate my heart. I have lost sight of it and the devil ran with that! 

In the days ahead I'm going to be focusing in on one part of these verses : How precious to me are YOUR thoughts,    God! How vast is the sum of them! If I were to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand --

It's time to let what God says about me be more important to me than what the enemy has gotten me to buy into. I want Gods thought to again be precious to me! So I'm committing to intentionally seek Gods word for the next 30 days to find out what God thinks of me specifically as a Mommy :) and share it here. 

Wherever you find yourself, I invite you to journey with me; Because none of us can be reminded if truth enough! I pray He transforms me in the next 30 days and uses my transparency for His glory.
