Do you ever have those times when someone says something hurtful to you and you just think, "insert equally hurtful-but-even-more-damaging thought here"? As in, "I'll show YOU". Ugh. I hate that. If you don't ever think or say things like this, then you're one perfect person and I'd give anything to be you. One thing I've realized since having a baby is that everything you do is wrong.
Seriously, I'm not even kidding.
Mothers feed their babies wrong. Mothers dress their babies wrong. Mothers dress themselves wrong. Mothers do ______not enough or ______ too much. It's hard being a mother! I like this quote, "Simply having children does not make mothers" which is so true. Every decision I make, every word I say, almost everything I do affects my child in some way.
I have too much to learn.
Of course, I'm talking about how everyone has advice on how you should do or should not do something a certain way. Usually, my gut instinct is to respond in a way that's equally critical, but in thinking about all this it makes me even more aware of how much I need my Savior.
Oh, how thankful I am for grace.
Grace doesn't make me a perfect person, but it does help me that I would certainly be more of a careless one with out it and Him. I am so undeserving.
