Better late than never...

Blogging has taken a backseat this past month. Other life priorities kinda shoved this blog to the bottom of the list. As I was sifting through my photos for May, I came across Mother's Day and smiled at some of the festivities that occurred that weekend.

I read somewhere that motherhood is a trying journey. But because we have our Heavenly Father as a role model of being the perfect parent, we have a vision/goal of how we want to be with our own children. These days, it's a daily challenge to remember that my first and foremost priority is the Lord. Anything else that takes my focus away (even when it's a good thing), becomes an idol in my life. This excerpt from a blog I read connected my recent devos and life lessons together:

"Today I have an opportunity. I have a challenge. I have a goal and I want to press hard towards it. In the very beginning of this day I was to recognize my human nature to create gods, carving on them to be and do what I want them to do for me. . . and I want to take my carving tools to my Heavenly Father's feet and leave them there.

My children, my husband - they need to know what it means to be loved, not carved on and made into my little gods today. With the Lord as my strength, may I press on to have no other gods but Him."

Trying to live for Him everyday....
