Mama Mia!

Potty training.  It’s the latest gig in our household.  So far we’ve had more accidents than actual successes, BUT it has distracted my kids from continuously taking their diapers off… and perhaps saving us money by getting them to wear “big girl” under garments!  Can’t go wrong I guess.

Bribes, movies, books, the occasional forced hold while one of the twins goes to the bathroom… whatever works I guess.  There’s been many times that I’ve had to grab a twin as she started to pee and throw her on the potty, rewarding her for unintentionally using it!  Oh boy.

Well, it’s not that big of a deal really.  It’s been a great lesson in patience and love, servant heartedness and I’m sure plenty of other things.  Thankfully I get a break for this afternoon to go work at the Pregnancy Center and learn more about patience and love and servant-heartedness!

And speaking of the Pregnancy Center, it has been such an opportunity to tell women of all ages, and some not even quite women yet, how much the Lord loves them and how to walk in right relationship with Him.  I’m amazed at how open we can be at our center about the gospel.  I suppose once you start talking about people’s most private secrets, talking about God is no biggie.  Nonetheless, it’s been good to be able to come along side of these women but I am still convinced that the ending of abortion doesn’t just start with abstinence, it begins with revival in the hearts of a generation who only knows sin.  We can’t really expect a person to give up one sin while continuing their 400 others can we?  Why should we just preach on the ending of sex before marriage and not the ending of gossip, and hate and violence and substance abuse, etc. etc.  So my biggest prayer for my clients is that they would fall deeply in love with their Creator, Bridegroom and Holy God who formed them in their mother’s womb and has great plans and purposes for them… will you join in this prayer for these precious women?

And while your praying for them, pray that my kids get fully potty trained soon!
