I have to be VERY honest...this morning I was feeling VERY sorry for myself. Today was the annual MOPS ornament exchange. I miss MOPS so much. I miss my ladies. I miss my friends. I miss the conversations. I miss the hugs, the love, the prayers, the support. On so many occasions I feel so lonely that I can just cry. I gave up MOPS at SCC this year for Lilah. I put her needs above mine. I traded my MOPS day for Lilah's full therapy day.
This life is NOT about me. It is NOT about my desires, my wants, my hopes, my dreams. I am the Lord's servant and Lilah was given to me. I have been entrusted with her and her care. I must do for her, for my other three, and Aaron before myself.
I am obeying God by placing my children and my family above me. They are my first ministry and my first priority after HIM.
My sacrificing has paid off TEN-FOLD! Here is what sacrificing has done:
THIS is what Lilah did today after she ROCKED it at therapy!!
I know I have made the right choice!
