His Mercies Are New Every Morning | Stacy Hudson

I try so hard and fail so many times each day that sometimes it is hard to think of myself as a good wife or mom. And that is what the devil wants. I am thankful that I have a sweet husband who, at the end of a long day himself, takes just a moment (as I’m feeding a fussy baby) to tell me “you’re a good momma.”  I wanted to disagree with him out loud… because in that moment all I felt like was an annoyed momma! ha. BUT I knew I needed to just keep my mouth shut and let those be the words I hear and not my own telling him he was wrong.

I failed last week as writing this blog. In the past that would have caused me to shut down and avoid posting for awhile. But I am trying to do better…to BE better. One of the ways God challenges me and helps me to be better is through my writing. Life is different when it gets written down. Things become more real. Joy is more joyful and sorrow is more sorrowful. And for me, the lessons are more profound.  While writing this I am trying to learn the lesson I feel like God is trying to teach me. That just because I failed at posting a blog last week…that doesn’t make me a failure at doing this blog/website. It makes me human. It means that I am a busy wife, mom, daughter, sibling, friend, Bible Study leader, political activist, and whatever other hat I need to wear at the time.  I am making more time for the writer hat. And as I figure out how to balance the other 7 hats… the 8th will get a better spot in the rotation. And for those of you who know me well… you know that 8 is my favorite number. 

Don’t let the devil freeze you with the word “failure”… His mercies are new every morning… Thank You Jesus!
