I have been praying that God would change my heart when it comes to the never ending tasks that seem to bog down every mom. I want to have an organized home but I just can't do it by myself. I am the queen of organizing but not of keeping it up. I also seem to struggle with energy level regularly. Not to mention the recent difficult circumstances add to my excuses (tho valid) of not getting anything done.
I don't want my little girl growing up feeling the same way about house work that I tend to. It seem to get in the way and as much as I like it I have never been able to enjoy it except in spurts and usually its because I am angry or have a loss of control in my life so I become a cleaning machine for a spurt of 24 to 72 hours. Never much longer than that before my motivation and energy are lost.
Like I said I have been asking God to help me with my work and especially to change my heart concerning my endless work. I have been far more motivated and had more energy lately to clean but even more important than that my attitude has been different. I have a long ways to go and I am not saying that its been a really long time of attitude change, but I am just saying this....... All of this has come to my attention today when my daughter said to me " I seem to be liking to clean more mommy."
Made my day and I am thankful for God doing in me and my daughter what I can not do in myself. Thank you Jesus for changing my heart about my work.
