A Consistent Mom

As I was praying and asking God for a meaningful time with REB the other day and desiring to be a godly mom for her, the Lord showed me something that I have been thinking about and working on. It's neat because about 3 or 4 months ago a friend of mine was telling me about this same issue that she had seen in her parents growing up. I thought about it then, but it didn't hit me at that moment. Not like it hit me yesterday.

The issue that the Lord showed me was about being a consistent mom...not in the context of discipline this time, but being the same mom that I am at home with REB and the same mom when I am out with friends or other people. I want REB to grow up seeing one mama. NOT two mamas - the one at home and the one outside of the home. I struggle with this sometimes because I feel like I am more patient and graceful with her when I am out running around or when people are watching than when it's just the two of us.

Please pray for me that I can be a consistent and godly mom all the time and always honoring God everywhere I am. That I can BE in essence all that God created me to be and that it will be shown in every area of my life when I am alone or when I am around other people.
