Every Monday, MckMama does a Not Me! post. It is all about being human...sharing your imperfections as a mom (or whatever you may be in life). This is great for me this week, because lately I have been struggling with recognizing that there is nothing I bring to the table before God...but the GREAT thing in that is that Christ brings it all...I am clothed in HIS righteousness. Something I have to tell myself daily, hourly, minutely....
So, on a lighter side, here are some of my Not Me's!
A few days ago my television was not covered in at least a good inch of dust. And I most certainly did not write "Dust Me" on it. And then I most certainly did not go find my camera to take a picture of it. Nope,
Not me! And then I did not let it sit there for a few more days before I actually dusted it...
Not me!
In an attempt to get my boys to sleep later, I most certainly did not set the clock on their dresser fifteen minutes slower than mine. And of course, I did not stay in my bed until they came crawling in. When asked about why my clock was different than theirs I did not shrug my shoulders at them.
Not me!And of course, I did not bribe them to stay in their beds even later than their 7:00 wake-up time the next day. The
bribe reward of course would not have been candy. And of course I would not give them this candy right after breakfast....and I never give them candy with high fructose corn syrup in it, nope,
not me!
This past week I most certainly did not let a pile of clean laundry lay on Chris' side of the bed for a few days and nights. I certainly did not put hand weights under the pile of clothes to try and imitate what it feels like to have him sleeping there at night. I most certainly don't toss and turn throughout the night without him.
Not me!And of course when Chris is gone during the week, I absolutely do not ever allow a kid to sleep with me. I never, ever would dream of waking a sleeping child and carrying him to my bed to sleep with me.
Not me!I would never, ever admit my failings, challenges, shortcomings on a blog that anyone in the whole world could read if they wanted...no,
NOT ME!!!!
