If not on a daily basis at least a weekly basis I'm asked this question. How Do You Do It? I'm assuming that everyone is reffering to my three children, my business and my life in general. I usually nod and answer I'm not real sure. I don't know why I say this, cause I know exactly the answer, I guess to keep a long conversation short I just agree.
"Be exalted, O Lord, in your strength; we will sing and praise your might." Psalm 21:13
Here is my real answer for those of you who have ever wondered...God's amazing Grace and never ending love. He sends me smiles, giggles and pure enjoyment hourly. I am forever in debt for these amazing blessings. His grace reassures me at the end of every day that yes, I can go on. His love keeps me looking at life on the brighter side. With out my faith I'm not sure how I'd do anything. But with my faith in Him, all things are possible. "Everything is possible with God." Mark 10:27 & Matt 19:26
If anything being a busy mom has helped me to appreciate and understand all types of women from all walkes in life. Each unique and special in their own way. I can see who I was before and appreciate who I have become. And more importantly know that it is all part of Gods glorious plan for my life. Where am I now? A work at home mother of three. This is my calling at this present time. God has trusted me with his angles to raise them in faith and love. That same love that He has for everyone and offers to anyone.
Is it easy? Sometimes... When I can keep in sight His plan for my life at this minute. I am just as guilty as anyone else at getting cought up in tomorrow. What does the future hold? I try very hard to focus on the here and now. Or today will just up and pass me by.
Sometimes not...So what up until recently the highlight of our day was walking to the mail box. We've had a lot of time together. It has made us strong. If eating the kids left overs from lunch as my first meal is the worst of my worries then that's not so bad is it? Who has time to eat. LOL If and when things ever get back to some what normal I'm going to gain a bunch of weight. Cause I've so screwed up my matabolism. Working or not working parenting is tough at times. But the rewards; that is what keeps us all going. It astonishes me when another mother ask me this question. We women give ourselves very little credit. My load is no heavier than yours. Just different! But it is exactly what God has intended for me. And you have just what He has planned for you.
When it comes to working that's the easy part. I have been blessed with the best career and oppertunity to meet with and fall in love with the most wonderful families. It keeps me sane on most days. The whole scheduling my work at home part is what becomes difficult, but it all works out too. I'm lucky to have a career where I can be at home with my children all day and work at naptime or late at night. Beats a 9-5 job anyday. Though on some days I seriously consider going back. (just for a second) LOL
"The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life of whom shall I be afraid?" Psalm 27:1
If you see me overwhelmed with life, please do not pitty me. For I am far more loved and blessed than I often let on. You have my permission to remind me of that when I loose sight.
