Book Cover & Preview Text
Mad, Sad and Not Glad Some days you’re angry and it’s okay. Some days you’re lonely and that’s okay too. I don’t know why some women work so hard at being Superwoman. (We sometimes even act like Superman). Sometimes life throws us a hard ball and instead of ducking we muster up all our strength and try our very best to catch whatever is thrown our way. I found out it’s all right to duck sometimes. In the book of Genesis there’s a story of Joseph the dreamer. He has a run in with his master’s wife. The wife tries to seduce him. Joseph runs away from her and the situation quickly. He escapes the temptation and doesn’t even try to talk her into doing the right thing. Why do we feel we have to stay and fix everything and make everyone happy while we smile and die inside? Where does it say that in the Bible? Who told us that we are in charge of managing, growing, plucking, watering, healing, delivering, and getting everything in order for the world to dump on us while we act like we got it all together? Well somebody done lied to me! Or maybe it was me lying to myself while I lay beat down from another day of distress caused by me trying to please God. And him. And her. And mom and sister and friend. If you are like I was, it’s time to stop it right now. My daughter in law told me in the midst of one of my temper tantrums “We don’t have to know it all, be it all, do it all or have it all.” We were not meant to be doormat wives, mothers and women. We were meant to give God glory by trusting Him with everything and receiving the grace that God freely gives without restraint. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” 2nd Corinthians 3: 17
