Overwhelmed.

I love my job.

I love my kids.

I love my LIFE!!!

But some days, weeks, seasons I feel overwhelmed.

Ever feel that way?

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one.

I have so many projects, ministry ideas, school ideas, and organization ideas for my home on my mind.

But I can’t find the time to do ANY of them.

I’m in “survival” mode. I do what it takes to make it through the day. Nothing is ever done all the way. If I do one thing well, other things suffer. I can’t seem to get ahead.

This is not a post to complain or make you feel sorry for me. It is a post to help me remember how I feel right now. And to help other mothers who now, or at another time will, feel overwhelmed. You (We) are not alone. We all suffer from it from time to time. It doesn’t make us bad mothers or wives or people. It makes us human. Needing Christ and His strength and salvation. Clinging to Him and Him only to get us through. As we wait on Him to change the season in our lives.

Lord, teach me, grow me, change me, in this season and prepare me for the next. I resolve with every fiber of my being to serve You in every season, in every way. And that is my first and only priority. All of this other “earthly” stuff isn’t really important.
