You know, I too battle with guilt of not doing enough, being enough, accomplishing enough on a daily basis.
I tried to talk to my DH about it but he doesn’t understand.

I think God made women differently for a reason. We can use our ‘guit’ to movitvate and spur us on but need to be careful we aren’t overcome and overwhemled with the shame.

Balance and grace!

Oh, wretched Mommy Shame! What an evil and yet favorite tool the enemy uses. Thanks for the reminder to shut it out! Enjoy your blog and so pretty too!

This is EXACTLY what I have been struggling with lately. Thank you for putting words to the deep feelings of guilt, remorse, and shame that I feel for all of my shortcomings as a mother (and as a wife, a friend, a daughter…).

Thank you, thank you….

Beautiful and just what I needed to hear. Just stumbled upon your blog from your sister’s and know I’ll be reading it often. We have 3 kids 4 and under and my husband’s a children’s pastor. Thanks for your sharing.

Shame comes for me when I see my parents doing something I “cringe” at and realize I’m doing it too and then I start to “worry” about my kids getting it from 2 generations! Thanks for your encouraging words. It comforts me to know we are not alone. Only God can break us free!

I stumbled upon your blog the other night and saw this entry. It is so nice to read about the life of another young mother. I too find myself feeling that way, more often than I would like.
Thank you for finding the time to share those thoughts and feelings.

I love that — I was made in His image for such a time as this. And I needed to hear it today!

Did you see Baby Blues in the Sunday paper this week? They called it “guilt flashes”. Thank Goodness for His grace! Blessings!
