Motherhood and Jesus

Motherhood is filled with lots of happy, wonderful times, and also very tired and irritable times. Not irritable in that my daughter is irritating, but in that my house is a mess, dinner rarely makes it on the table, and I hate going to work because I want to spend every moment with my little girl. I am trying to find that balance of Mom, wife, empolyee, daughter, and sister. I know it will come eventually, but it is frusterating right now that things aren't organized. Not that they were perfect before, but you know what I mean. I am also really trying to read my Bible more, and I listen to Christian radio the majority of the time now. I suddenly have this hunger for God's word, and I am learning so much right now. My Mom was telling me that God created marriage to give us an idea of the kind of relationship God wants to have with us. That really struck me in that I don't do that at all. I pray when I feel I need to, and i would occasionally read my Bible. I think I am doing much better, and I hope that I will continue with all this. Reading the Bible in chronological order has helped a lot too, it makes more sense to me in a way. Before, I would get distracted thinking, "I wonder when this happened?", and my mind would wander. I really want to learn as much as I can, so I can teach my little girl all about Jesus. I want to be able to answer her questions, as well as anyone elses questions accurately. I guess these are my thoughts for the day...
