{Mommy Monday} The not so Good Morning

This morning was suppose to start out with some quite time, devotional time, and the start of the Good Morning Girls Bible Study. (GMG) Let's just say it didn't quite go as planned.

After staying up late last night painting the super fun, spring yellow walls of the playroom, I ended up crashed on the couch. Yep, on Mother's Day I did manual labor and slept on the couch, aren't I such a princess!

I had already decided that this morning was going to be a little bit harder, as Jacob and I have been on a mini vacation from work/school for the last week & half. So I had every intention of waking up at 5am instead of the usually 6:30am wake up throw myself & Jake together and burn the rubber off my tires to get to work by 8:30am routine. I had planned to get up, have some coffee, read my devo from church for the day and complete day 1 of my Bible Study, while letting Jacob sleep in so that maybe this morning wouldn't be so bad and he wouldn't be such a monster when he was picked up from school later. That did not happen. I should have never left the couch and went to my bed. That is never a good thing. My bed is like a slice of heaven just sitting in the middle of my room begging me to come.lay.down. Bad idea.

I too ended up sleeping in. Then jumping up throw myself together & Jake and follow the usual routine. I got to the school and completely forgot that I of course needed to inform them of his food allergies we just found out he had and that required me filling out a short novel for the school to have on hand.

Even later now, and still no devo time.

Thank God Jacob didn't have to hard of a time transitioning back to school this morning. Thank God for his loving teachers that made him feel so loved this morning. But I still cried. All the way to work. I had to choke down these lovely words at 8am this morning: "But mommy, I love you. I just want to stay home "wish"you. You don't have to work!" Why can't money grow on trees? Why can't I do good deeds to pay for my house? C'mon!

Here it is now midnight and I finally finished all my Bible study for the night. Oh, this is the life of a crazy mommy! A mommy that indulges in too much, and is too busy for her own good. It has definitely been a "Mommy Monday".

GMG Week 1, Day 1:
Proverbs 31:1-2 "The words of King Lemuel. An oracle that his mother taught him: Listen my son! Listen, son of my womb! Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers" Reading this I became overwhelmed at the persistence of Lemuel's mother. While I agree that "mom knows best" when finding the perfect mate for her son, I also believe that a man must follow his heart. I believe wholeheartedly that if you are doing your job as a Godly mother and wife your son will see that as an example of what he wants in his future wife and mother of his children. I need to more of an example for Jacob. I need to be more of what I want in a wife and mother for my son in my own marriage and parenting today. I pray for God to work through me to transform me through this journey (Good Morning Girls study) into the Godly example I need to be for not only myself but for my son, my unborn children, and my husband.

Praying for Jacob:
"Lord, let salvation spring up within my children, that they obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory" (Timothy 2:10)
You can see Jacob's life through "Momma's Journal" a page dedicated to him on my blog until I get his up and running!

Happy Monday....and remember to have a little faith....
