Discipline problems.... another opportunity to direct my child's heart towards God, washing dishes.... an opportunity for me to "do everything unto the Lord" and to demonstrate to my children that everything we do, if with a right heart, can honor God, mommy getting frustrated... an opportunity to model repentance and forgiveness. Thanks for your honesty, Jessica! I struggle with this daily as well. And I loved your goals... I think I'll take some of them for myself. :) One of the things God is showing me during this season of motherhood is that I have the amazing privilege of raising worshipers of God.

People said that a lot when he was first born, but I didn't take it too heart so much. But now that he's almost one it's crazy how fast the last year went!

What struck me about yours was your willingness to serve and be used for Him even as you are busy with your son and house. In looking back I wonder if I was as willing as you were when I was in the midst of the season you are. I had 4 children and was often times overwhelmed with the "urgent" tasks at hand and seemed as though I had little energy or thought left over for much else. I admire and respect your heart to serve. I think your goal list is WONDERFUL and I will pray that God blesses it. Let me just say this too, not because I think you in any way need to hear it, but because it is something I always heard and never really bought when I was in the midst of raising my family...ENJOY every moment with your son, because in the blink of any eye he will be grown and gone. Have a great day...Blessings to you, Debbie This was a great post and it is so true of course that we are all in different seasons of our life.

I agree with you that sometimes it's so hard to maintain our vision where it should be. I am there with you, constantly trying to keep my eye on the prize, "the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Thanks so much for sharing! -Ashley *By the way, I have a close couple friend and the husband is attending the SBTS. He is our youth pastor and him and his wife are preparing to go to mission field. What a small world! Thanks so much for sharing! I agree with you that sometimes it’s so hard to maintain our vision where it should be.
