Galatians 5:17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
I read other mom's blogs, people with advice, with systems for raising perfect kids, ways to motivate, train, encourage, discipline, teach kids to be what you want them to be. I catch myself thinking they have all the answers, if I read enough I'll get this motherhood thing figured out. Guess what? I'm sure they really don't have it all figured out, their kids can't be that different than mine, right? We each have our struggles. So I need to lay that down, put it all in its place (advice or encouragement, but that's it), and pick up God's word, the Father who wants to teach me how to get through motherhood, how to make it work, how to make it a wonderful and amazing journey for our family. Come on in, Lord, and show us how it's done! Please!
