My Beloved is worthy of praise and all the reverence of my heart for His unfailing love and mercy in my life. He has made the experience of His love and restoration possible through my journey of motherhood.
This praise is intended to share the profound change that becoming a mother has brought to my life and the understanding, healing, and direction I have experienced through this sublime calling for which I truly felt neither ready, nor capable, nor worthy.
Fortunately, His thoughts are higher than mine, and His plans are greater than my expectations.
The Call for Wholehearted Commitment captured my heart. My Husband has constantly told me to love Him with my entire being, and because of this, I found it conflicting and challenging to assume my role as a mother under His precepts. I didn't understand how to love Him completely without usurping the leadership of my earthly husband (EH).
I confess that I've had high expectations, placed invisible burdens, and exhausted myself mentally, emotionally, and spiritually regarding my EH's role as the spiritual leader of my home. In addition to the internal conflict, I had the question of how I could instruct my children if EH wasn't on the same page as me.
How good my God has been! He gave me His peace as I let go of control and focused on His Word, His instructions, the Homeschooling for Him and Wise Woman lessons, placing my full attention on the progress of my home, on my children, and on my own heart.
Gradually, I've let go of expectations about what I want EH to be, do, say, and lead, and He has led me to be absolutely careful how I treat my EH until His time comes. My Beloved, convince me to respect and love eh as the head of my life and my home so that each one may exercise their role and calling according to His plan.
With this understanding, with all the reverence in my heart and a zeal for obedience for His Word, I found what to do while He is still in process and progress with my eh... He told me:
Deuteronomy 6:7 NLT
[7] Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.
https://bible.com/bible/116/deu.6.7.NLT
Proverbs 1:8 NLT
[8] My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.1.8.NLT
Proverbs 22:6 NLT
[6] Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
https://bible.com/bible/116/pro.22.6.NLT
He gave me the conviction to be an example for my children so that when they hear my way of speaking and see how I live, they will try to be pure. May they imitate my loving character and my trust in God. (1 Tim. 4:12)
It's not a simple or easy thing. But He is faithful. The more I immerse myself in His presence and His Word, the more He transforms my heart. I have suffered greatly; I have cried millions of times at His feet out of helplessness, anger, despair... But I have always found comfort, help, and an increased dose of faith. For our Beloved, nothing is impossible!
I praise Him for taking away the false responsibility of my child's relationship with their Heavenly Father and also for showing me that I need to model unconditional love because that is what draws my children to Him.
And He is so wonderfully wise that He has blessed me with practical and educational strategies to bring my 4-year-old daughter closer to Her Heavenly Father without her being superior in biblical knowledge to her father.
(I will talk about this in my next praise report)
I encourage you to consider the calling and the role our Beloved has gifted, designated, and allowed us to play. His inexhaustible love has a power that transforms everything. 😊
Hello my dear Mia,
This morning, I was truly amazed by your praise. I actually found myself in the same position as you… feeling lost about my role as a mother, without taking over my earthly husband’s role.
I must admit, the principles you shared are truly encouraging.
I also started rereading The Wise Woman to better understand my role as a mother.
Dear Mia, although my situation is different because I am divorced, your praise still touched my heart this morning. It is amazing how our Beloved Lord leads us in motherhood when we seek Him.
Although I am divorced, I still have to deal with the fact that their earthly father is very involved in the children’s lives, and through all the changes my Beloved made in me, and His guidance, I can navigate the situation in a way that shows my children His ways by having a peaceful co-parenting relationship with their earthly father.
así es en mi experiencia también puedo decir que eh sentido ese conflicto en mi corazón de lo que mi joven vive con su padre y lo que si padre le ha echo saber me ha tocado llorar de impotencia con mi amado diciéndole todo a El en cuestión a lo que siento dq mi hijo sabe ciertas cosas de su padre y el que haya sido su papá terrenal que se las dijo me ha traído mucho dolor pero mi amado me ha recordado que es mejor sufrir por causa de El y que debo permanecer quieta en El y que es entonces El quien pelea por mi me recuerda día a día que es El Mejor padre El para mis hijos y que todo en sus manos toma mejores rumbos porque El hace nacer luz de la nada en la oscuridad Contamos con el mejor amigo y padre de Nuestros hijos en El somos Fuertes
