Life is crazy and busy and beautiful. I am working two jobs currently trying to get some medical bills paid down. I am raising four incredibly beautiful wonderful talented children. I am a wife a mom a nurse and a child of God. And I struggle ALOT. But recently in this phase of life God has shown himself to me over and over again. Whether it is in the kind words and encouragement of a friend, whether it is extra snuggles from my family, whether it is a babysitter who has gone above and beyond loving my babies while I am working…….God keeps showing me that He can make it all beautiful. I was frustrated with the kids dressers, my sitter took it upon herself to reorganize it all. I was frustrated trying to find a used piano for our house for our daughter for lessons, one was given to us for free. I was overwhelmed with my work schedule, and the schedule was changed to accommodate me.
It really is hard sometimes from the moment to moment stressors of daily life, but when you take a step back you can see God in all of it. I cannot even fathom surviving and thriving without Him. My brother and his wife were just here visiting from Texas and they were so blessed to hear my kids singing worship music each morning. THAT my friends is what it is all about. It doesn’t matter that life is crazy, it doesn’t matter that you are exhausted or overwhelmed at times. What matters is that you give God the room in your life to move, and that you let His light shine on others. My babies? They KNOW HIM! And that is what it is all about. My sweet little kiddos are getting it.
Keep your eyes on the prize. Don’t get buried under your mountain of laundry, the sticky gob of toothpastes all over your bathroom, the smudges on your mirrors and stickers on your windows. Realize that these fleeting moments are just a way for God to show Himself to us in every task that mother hood can through our way. REST! Put your feet up! The dust and laundry will keep until tomorrow.
Beautifully Blessed
