To the moms . . .


The last couple of weeks I’ve gotten that mom bug of wondering if I’m doing the right thing, of wondering how to best balance working, chasing dreams, following passions, and doing well this call of motherhood I’ve been given.

It’s not always the easiest thing, some days it’s the hardest thing. But then sometimes they snuggle in like this while I’m writing a curriculum, or grab my knees while I’m teaching English, or play a game next to me while I make lesson plans, and for a moment everything is good and I am so happy.

I’m going to keep fighting for balance, but I believe that if I am compelled in my work by the Gospel that is something that my kids need to see. They need to know that they are second to Him and His call on my life. But I also want them to know that I desperately love the call that is being their mom and that that is a role I don’t take lightly.

I sometimes wish God didn’t keep us searching for and never finding the perfect balance, but it does keep me ever feeling my need for Him, and for that I am deeply grateful.

Keep it up mama, chase the dreams God gave you, not because you deserve it, but because what He calls you to is what you’re meant to do.

Seek first His Kingdom, and let that Kingdom inform your everyday. Work hard, kiss your babies, live the Gospel.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, then you’ll have already seen this post. But, it was just an in the moment post that ended up getting more likes and comments than most of my other posts, so in light of Mother’s Day, I’m sharing it again for those of you who didn’t see it and to have a record for myself.
