more than enough

i felt convicted yesterday. (hard core, tears in your eyes, fall to your knees, conviction.)

you know, after i posted about feeling like my obedience was boring, like i wasn't doing enough, i wasn't "glamorous" enough, blah, blah, blah.

i went upstairs to put laundry away, and just like that, it hit me. i felt God.

like, it felt like He was beating on my chest. "this isn't enough for you?" "these two, beautiful, young hearts that i've given to you to help shape...they're not enough? not "glamorous" enough for you, huh?"

have you ever felt like God was being sarcastic with you, just to prove a point? ouch.

i stopped. i cried. i said "sorry" and "you're right" and "thankyou". i was reminded about what a BIG DEAL being a Mom really is. (sometimes it doesn't seem like a big sacrifice because there are millions of mommys)

And then dave came home. Photobucket

we got a pizza.
