SO true that if you were superwoman, you wouldn’t see your need for Christ. They key as wives/mothers…always seeing our need for Christ. Good for me to be reminded of as I sometimes grit my teeth and only see getting through the day/mere survival as my goal with my two little ones when Christ says I can have so much better than that if I only look to Him!:)

Very wise words! Congratulations on your blessing…I just read that you are expecting! How exciting! I was very sick…with all 4 of mine…I will be praying that the nausea ends soon! I know what it feels like.

Doesn’t every girl want to grow up to be the perfect housewife? You hit the nail on the head on this one. Comparison is a pit. I can fall into this as a daughter at a home. I think, “There is so much more I need to be doing!” But then, I know I need to lean on the Lord, not be lazy, and endeavor to do my best. Thank you for this post!

My husband and I will celebrate 23 years of marriage in July and we have 2 daughters, ages 19 and 14. Congratulations on your marriage and new baby on the way. It will not always be easy, but you are wise for realizing that it is OK not to be Superwoman. Rely on God to get you through.

Hi Anna! Wow…congrats on your marriage AND your baby!! That’s so exciting!! Thanks for the reminder that comparison is dangerous…and that our imperfections remind us of our need for God. It’s something I often forget even though I’m not married yet…and it’s something that I know I’ll need to remember if/when I do get married!

I do the same thing! My mental picture of what I want to be is alot like yours – but it hardly ever happens that way. I do some of those things; I do get to make my husband lunch every morning and I try to keep the house picked up and make my husband dinner when I’m home. But then there are those days that I work and I can’t be home to make dinner before my husband gets home (about three days a week right now), the house never seems to be spotless, and sometimes I just don’t have time to do everything that I want to do! Then I spend alot of time beating myself up for not being a good wife. I appreciate your reminder to let the Lord help us through our weaknesses and just the everyday tasks. And that it’s okay if we aren’t SuperWives.
