We are on the verge of a new week. Last week was hard and long. Probably because we were all exhausted from traveling to LA and back in 4 days. I think my boys decided if I was going to force them to sit in a car for 15 hours straight, they were going to use this week to help me understand just how hard and horrible that is from a 3 and 2 year old perspective...needless to say I cried upon the name of the Lord multiple times and thankfully he heard my cry and rescued me :-)
Really, it wasn't that bad, and I found that if I stopped running around the house like a crazy woman and actually focused on being a mom things were better. Not quiet & calm- really, they are crazy toddlers after all - but better. The thing is sometimes I get so overwhelmed by the tasks at hand I forget. Forget to stop and see what really matters and to spend time where it matters.
Once a long while ago, my cousin Amy, posted on her blog photos of things that she loved. She had, had a very long week and needed to be reminded of the joy. So, while I didn't get great photos taken, I did try and spend some time remembering why I LOVE being a mom and why I LOVE my life.
And truly, this is just the tip of the iceberg!

What an encouragement this was to read. Thanks for sharing your struggles so we can all learn. God has been really showing me this lately as well.
