Sanctification

Without detail, I was reminded today of how difficult it is to be a parent.  The challenges presented are at times overwhelming and have me question my sanity and my ability to mother.  Then when I rethink and pray, I realize these small trials are part of my sanctification.  Another blessing to praise God for.  I don't want Him to finish with me yet.  It's sweet being refined, humbled, and unsure of what to do.  All of this sends me to my knees.  If only I would not be so stubborn and would bend the knee during those times I think I have it all figured out.
