Changing Rolls

Along with my admission to motherhood/parenting came more responsibility. And saying that I've matured might be a stretch. Am I the most mature mother to date? No way! I didn't say that I had  become a completely different person, I just said I feel as though I'd gained a little maturity in the process.

I was thinking back to some of the silly things I've said, or way I've acted. . . . Maybe 'silly' isn't the right word, immature, selfish, and self centered are better descriptions.


My point is after I becoming a parent, so much about me changed. It changed the way I lived my life, my friendships, my relationships, my emotions, some boundaries. Everything. As our girls grow, things keep changing. The stages of life that we are in, will be different next week, as they were different three weeks ago. . . Isn't it interesting that sometimes change just happens and we just go with the flow. And then there are changes that take place and we drag our feet, and make excuses and complain and go on and on on why we don't want it to happen.

I wonder what God dose when we - as His children - drag our feet, kicking and screaming. . . I'm so glad He is the same God yesterday that He is today, and He will be the same tomorrow. . . I have so much yet to learn in this roll as parent/mother - I'm glad I have a great teacher to learn from.

What are your thoughts? If your a parent, did your perspective of God change after having kids?
