Confidence

September 23, 2010

My thought for the day that brings me happiness is on the Lord's confidence in us as women and in rearing children. (This is something I am starting to do on my blog, from my previous post)

Motherhood and influencing children can be hard, to wonder if you're doing it right.  I know the Lord has a lot of confidence in us and the responsibilities he blesses us with.  I have felt this in my own life.  I like the song by Hilary Weeks "Who You Are".  It reminds me that what I'm doing sometimes is worth it.  Here it goes:

I know you wonder if you'll ever have a day where the kids stay calm, the laundry's done, and the dishes are put away.  
And sometimes you feel like your days are spent and gone and the question running through your mind is what have I gotten done?  And when you finally have a moment to slow down at the end of your day I know Father would say
Believe in what you're doing, Believe in who you are and hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God.  Believe in who you're becoming, Believe in who you are.

It may seem simple all the little things you do, but the lives you touch matter so much and there's no one else like you and Father needs you to stand tall and faithful to be all you can be if you could see what he sees
You'd believe in what you're doing, and you'd believe in who you are. So hold tight to the truth that you're a daughter of God.  Believe in who you're becoming, Believe in who you are.

When it's hard to believe in yourself and you feel like you're beginning to doubt, remember
He believes in what you're doing, He believes in who you are.  So don't lose sight of the truth that you're a daughter of God.  That he believes in who you're becoming, He believes in who you are.

That reminder was good for me today.
