"Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long will it be before you are clean?" Jeremiah 13:27
This was the scripture that came to me in prayer last Monday night. You thought I might be joking about the state of my soul?
Awhile back I found a blog that spoke to me about the isolation of motherhood, especially the difference of being a stay at home mom 50 years ago versus being a stay at home mom today. Our world does not support the at home mom as it did in generations past. One of the challenges issued was to seek community.
On the inspiration of that blog, I joined a Thursday morning mom's prayer group. It has been a blessing a source of accountability in my life. I have cried before these women more than once about the issue of anger in my motherhood.
How long will it be before I am clean? My husband helps tremendously. I swatted a bum (of a child whose face was licking bugs off our screen door). Immediately I pulled my hand back. Mr B&B was on the other side of the door. He knew too. We are in this together. No more spanking!
