how to live sacrificially
without losing who I am.
Jesus.
completely Himself,
every moment,
and
He is our perfect example of sacrifice.
And here I am, as a young mother....
knowing that I
relinquish rights
day and night
A right to what?
my own time? to do what with, exactly?
What person has the right
to shower alone,
to have times of peaceful quiet,
to watch a movie,
to enjoy a date night
to sleep through the night
?
I take a step back and realize-
privileges these are all.
privileges I let go
in order to revel in the honor of being exactly where I am called to be.
Mother. Wife.
How do I choose to be present in this, my calling?
How selfish I have been.
How I long to sacrifice my selfish self and replace her with a beautiful new creation.
and this is already happening
the great Potter molds me,
everyday
eyes opened afresh, once again
my heart grows wings
with freedom to love
and the knowledge that I've been loved all along.
