Psalm 16

I get asked a lot how I manage working from home with three small kids and it is only by the grace of God. That is not just a cliche statement I'm making. I truly have to pray every day for patience, endurance, kindness and understanding or I would go 100% absolutely crazy. It is hard. Very hard. And sometimes it's not pretty. I would by lying if I said it was. 

However, this is my calling. I am certain of that. I have made sacrifices such as a more prestigious job title, a bigger paycheck, a nicer car, going to grad school, buying new things. However, I do not feel as though I have been cheated. Quite the opposite actually. I am a better person today because of these things and my sacrifice pales in comparison to the sacrifice Jesus has made for me.

Many things in this life are fleeting, but the love of Jesus is eternal and if I do nothing else right I pray that my children know and experience that love.

Psalm 16
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
    you hold my lot. 
 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

You make known to me the path of life;
    in your presence there is fullness of joy;
    at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Yes, indeed, I do have a beautiful inheritance and they are the best song I'll ever write.
