I thought I was the perfect teacher, mom, and wife.  Nothing could change my mind because I ran the show.   Whatever "it"was, I had it. It wasnt until the Lord broke me into thousands of shattered pieces that I stopped and I learned He is in control.  Not me. Not you. Not my family. HE.  It is for God's glory that we live. Not for the glory of me. Arrogance is a sin as unto witchcraft all by itself talk less of controlling  the issues of life and managing everything.
GOD has allowed my pain to begin to get me there. Job 23:10 says, " we may not choose to step out, but God may allow the pain to get us there."
Indeed sometimes  it takes a mountain  to get our attention.   I once heard heard T.D.jakes say," if you want to see God move, get in trouble."  BAM ....it's easy  to clap your  hands and shake your hips and praise God when it's all good, but wen you are in trouble hmmmmmm then you really learn just how much mountain you can handle.... I hate to say this ladies and gentlemen, but many of us, me too, have sat in church not realizing that Satan runs a bus right through the church every Sunday morning and many are on it because they lack the faith, and and knowledge  of who He really is. I AM GETTING OFF THAT BUS because I bow down to the king of kings and Lord of Lord's.

What is my role as a mom?

It's strange that over the years I've watched mom's that I thought were good and I thought were bad.  I used to look at mom's in the playground when my son was little and see how each interacted with their child.   I often wondered which mom was right in the way they handled things and which mom was wrong.   I once watched a mom allow, a young child around age four,  to climb monkey bars so high whilst she did nothing but read a magazine.   At the same time, I saw a mom help another child of about the same age,  climb the same monkey bars and hold her hands up lest he fall.  I watched my own child slide up and down a slide and run form equipment to equipment as I intently watched him interact with other kids.  The mom's whose kids were on the monkey bars interested me.   I wondered if the child who wasn't really being watched would fall, and I wondered what would happen if he did.  20 years pass ....... I look back to those days of playgrounds and monkey bar

When you go down on your knees..... That is when the battle begins. The arrogance of a woman who thought she could do it all

Are you a do it all gal? .....   I was once told by a fellow teacher, " I love your can do attitude. You don't need anyone to help."   I took pride in that statement until........  My world fell apart. That story is for another day but let's  suffice it to say, I did it all, solved it all, took care of it all and everyone listened to me.   You needed me, I was there.  I was the ultimate mom, wife, sister, aunt... and most of all teacher. I was in control.   Let me tell you about control......it is likened as unto witchcraft.  I held hands with it, I loved it and I was good and then  when my world fell apart, things changed.  Don't get me wrong, I love God, believe in Jesus and understand his love.   It wasn't until things fell apart, and doing things to the Glory of ME ended, I understood that God was delivering my final demon in order to use me for his purpose. I learned and still am learning to understand that it is all for His glory.  I actually stood
