Mommyhood: One of those days..

September 6, 2013 Leave a Comment

That a girl goes through… I’m pretty sure whenever those first few words are said you automatically think of that Monica song. Well it really does feel like one of those days, even more so one of those weeks. The week where your kid gets sick with some random virus you hear nothing but horror stories about. The kind of week where you spend any and all profit from your tinsy tiny business at the Post Office (over $10.00 for a package…really?) The kind of week where you have no leave, but you have to take off anyways. Yeah that type of week, day, moment, what ever you want to call it – it’s happening and not stopping.
As much as I want to get cranky and honestly I am a bit cranky and sleep deprived and tired, some really great things have happened this week; one of them being consistent prayer. It’s difficult for me to not want to close my eyes and sleep when it’s time to pray, because I’m just really tired. I could come up with a thousand excuses, but honestly they really don’t mean much, because prayer and reading my Bible should be priorities and are (when I’m not excusing myself from them…). Either way, even if that isn’t what you do to center yourself, being positive or thinking positive may be your thing. The fact is you make time for it. And this week I have, and it’s made such a wonderful difference, despite how crappy I feel today. Your priorities are everything and they really do say quite a bit about you. What’s on your mind, what you most talk about, and what your ultimate life goals give someone a glimpse into who you are and what you’re about… But I digress, that could be a whole other post in itself!
I say all of that to really say in having time in prayer, I’ve been able to refocus and keep things in perspective today. Sure my phone cracked and I didn’t buy insurance. Or that I’m bummed about not really selling or having much time to make new things for my shop. BUT despite the screams of my baby boy while he isn’t feeling his best and my house in disarray, I’m at peace (that doesn’t mean I still don’t feel like pulling the little hair I have out). It really just means, this too shall pass.
So mom of one or mom of three out there I will say the same to you… this too shall pass. It doesn’t always feel like it (cause I feel like this week was one for the books)…but it does get better. You know once you see your little one smile or someone thanks you for something you didn’t even realize made them smile, you remember it’s not that bad. It’s all in our perspective right?
So I’m going to finish that guest blog post and put together that package to ship off tomorrow, because I don’t want this to overshadow the great things going on…because there really are some great things happening.

Since December we have been practicing how to rest Since December we have been practicing how to rest as a family - real soul rest and it’s been life giving.

On Friday evenings we cook together and disconnect. Last weekend we made this challah bread and it was delicious! Mike and I look through new recipes to prep for our time. This recipe is on the blog!

Slowing down last year taught us how unhealthy being “busy” and doing more was for us individually, as a family, and even for our kids. We were functioning in rhythms that may have appeared to be beneficial - but had negative side effects. 

2020 allowed us to refocus and shift. Mike and I knew God desires for our home to benefit most - because it’s our first ministry. 

Family rhythms look unique to you and I pray yours is reaping the best it can this week ♥️ #familyrhythms #familyisourfirstministry

That’s it... that’s the caption and joke 😂 #humorwithkids
Follow Me... Through the gospels I see Jesus call Follow Me...

Through the gospels I see Jesus calling for people to follow him. Not to a program or an event - but the opportunity to watch him live life in Spirit and in Truth. Live in a way that brought each person closer to God not the creeds of religion. 

I remember the last few years of full time ministry for me how a mentor of mine challenged me to reevaluate how I was on boarding/leading people to Jesus. How was I teaching others to see Christ more than a method or strategy.

That work is different.

It’s also life giving. 

As I continue to read through the scriptures I’m reminded to clarify don’t follow me. JOIN me as I follow Christ and we’ll walk, grow, fail, and learn from Him together.

If we all saw each other as fellow students rather than how we believe our gifts elevate ourselves over one another. 

“The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.” Luke‬ ‭6:40‬ #readwithme30
