If you find yourself thinking, Why can’t we all just get along? Why can’t anyone seem to do the right thing? What the hell is wrong with the world??? Me too. Here’s what we can do.
She carries her children’s joy and sorrow. She carries their goodness and pain. And every night she casts ALL the things she’s carrying off to Jesus as she prays over her children’s souls.
It might look a little different now, but your boy will always need you in so many ways!
Moms, we don’t have to do it all every year. We can pick one or two things. Then just be present. And soak it in. Turns out, Christmas is CUMULATIVE!!
In tiny glimpses, it ALL feels like enough. My life. This hard, broken world. Me, even.
God knows what He is doing. He always has! He knew from the beginning EXACTLY what my weaknesses would be. And He has never left me alone.
What if I don't want anything MORE? Or need anything MORE? What if I refuse to STRIVE anymore!?!
I WILL do my best to soak in this time with my kids and enjoy what I can. After all, I’m pretty sure it's the GOOD memories that stick.
I mean, don’t we know what we need to do to take care of ourselves? And our family?? Don’t all those routines and best practices exist for a reason?
This little cutie-patootie saw the sun yesterday. And frankly, I owe her a few apologies.
Well, no more. I’m through with unnecessary excuses and apologies and rationalizations for the choices I believe are best for ME. And my family.
Life is complicated and messy and hard. Yet sometimes the beauty of an ordinary moment quite nearly takes my breath away.
My house is a mess, we have an ant problem in the kitchen, and I can’t even talk about the laundry.
The truth is, for us REAL passion doesn’t begin at bedtime but in the little moments of connection throughout the day.
Stop ‘handing it over’ then continuing to lose sleep and micromanage what you’ve placed in God’s hands.
I’ll do it anyway…because that’s just what moms do.
I am teaching my children how to love and be loved…and so are you!!
We’re ALL worn thin. We’re ALL about four incidents away from a meltdown. And none of us knows which number any other person is on.
This year will likely be mostly the same. Same life. Same house. Same family. Same ME.
And every day instead of feeling overwhelmed, I can CHOOSE to be grateful...
