Not comparing is hard--but there's only one we need to compare ourselves to, and He died to free us from the burdens of a sinful heart. He makes people free! We have to live in that freedom as mothers and show our kids where our priorities really lie.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00200882187652447266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002150855181992808.post-19657084746428638302012-06-11T18:21:12.734-07:002012-06-11T18:21:12.734-07:00Hester!

My heart keeps wanting to compare myself to women who seem to have it all together or even compare to women that seem spiritually so much more holy. I am where I am and taking that extra "time" at night is just one of the many truths I am taking away from your amazing blog!

It is so much pressure! I have had to learn to give it God each morning. Some of the most refreshing friends I have are the ones who don't strive for perfection in their roles as moms, they let Jesus do it!

I'm willing to bet our "Good Mother" lists were identical, but one of the great things about growing older (and thankfully WISER) is that you figure out the "Good Mother" routine everyone puts on is a sham. All of us are flawed, no matter how perfect our homes and families appear to everyone else.<br /><br />And that's a truth that I hope will set some young mama free!
