I struggle with what to do when. I struggle with the fact that there are so many things that "need" to be done, and then so many good things that "could" or "should" be done, and then something comes up that I didn't anticipate and it "must" be done. What are we to do? I know I've touched on this before, but in a young mommy/wife world, it is constant. And I.am.not.a.superhero. Newsflash!
So I just want to be directed in my days by the One who holds them in his hands. Our time on this earth is fleeting, but a breath. I am thankful for each day that I get to wake up and be part of His work here. I'm thankful that He is faithful to lead, and to teach, and to whisper Truth to my soul. And I'm thankful he's helping me see that sometimes..."it can wait."

ReplyDeleteSo good! I'm not a superhero either, but sometimes being a plain old regular mom is still pretty close. Woohoo on the waiting! ~Jessica
ReplyDeletesometimes you just have to stop what you're doing and hold them, kiss their sweet little faces and hold them.
