Join the Club

Today I am wondering if anyone wants to join my club. It is called the "I can never get everything done, and will always fall short of God's glory...club."

I constantly need to pull out my membership card because somehow I daily expect that everything should be perfect...that I should be the perfect wife, mother and teacher...the dishes should be done...the laundry folded, my appearance neat and my children perfect. I should never fail at meeting the needs of every friend I have...no matter the cost. I should attend everything I am ever invited to and never say "no". Why is it that when we know this to be a lie we still strive to achieve it?

Here enters my membership card.

I CAN'T do it all...more accurately I can't do ANYTHING apart from the grace of God and the power of His Spirit operating through me. I wake up with the expectation of doing it all in my own strength (Bahaaa haaa haaa) and when the list overwhelms me I tend to do nothing at all rather that seek His strength to achieve the tasks before me. It is debilitating. So when will I learn? I guess one day at a time remembering that :



If Christ is with in me all things within His will can be accomplished...

If I consistently can not accomplish the things on my list, I better revise my list...

I've got 4 big reasons (pictured above) to NOT give up...

The steadfast love of the Lord never seizes~it is NEW EVERY MORNING...

I'm taking my fresh start today! Welcome to the club!
