Hey there everybody. Just wanted to talk about what so many people have been asking me. People ask me all the time how do I do it. Three kids 2 and under which includes a set of twins, working, home making, church work and attending, building a business etc. and to tell you the truth only by the grace of God and the strength he gives me everyday and the determination, drive and the thought of making my children’s lives better.
I have pondered so many times and asked GOD what is the plan you have for me and my life and what is it that I am supposed to be doing. A lot of things I wanted to do I have not because of what, FEAR. The fear of failure and rejection and doubt and discouragement that plagues so many of us. Often times we wonder if we are good enough, the what ifs and when it does not work out the first time we just give up and never try again. A lot of times things take perseverance and determination and a will to not give up.
Sure everyone has a job, kids, a husband, aging parents, this, that, the other and the list and day goes on and on. Where do you find the time? And in between you want to get the me time so you don't go crazy. The thing is you have to make it all work. Prioritize. And some things unintentionally will fall by the waste side until you can pick them up again. Don't feel bad and don't feel defeated.
I know a lot of people make promises of help when you need it and sometimes its not there. Don't get mad with the people because they are just people and they get wrapped up in there everyday lives as well. Sometimes you feel like the people around you can't really relate to what you are thinking or going through. The person we need to lean on is Jesus because he will never leave us or forsake us and he may not be there when we need him but he always shows up right on time and I am a believer in that. Everyday will not be sunny or bright but everyday new mercies we see and a new chance we get to try it again and get it right. Take it all to Jesus in prayer. It is still good to have those good girlfriends you can talk to and lean on and get good Godly counsel from. Not the ones who will just go along to get along but the ones that will tell you the truth when you miss the mark and where you need to step it up at.
Just keep pressing on. The race is not given to the fast or the swift but the one that endures to the end. Don't give up on your dreams no matter how old chronologically you are. It's never too late to make a new beginning. Don't have regrets. Live, Love, Laugh and most importantly live your life to the fullest because tomorrow is not promised. What kind of legacy will you leave to your children and grandchildren? Take care of you and your family. And the most important thing is to take care of you. It's so easy to forget your own health and needs when we are busy taking care of everyone else.
