Yesterday, I had a lot on my plate. A lot of people needing a lot of different things from me. Fear has affected even people I didn’t think it would, and consequently, I spent the day putting out fires—trying to please many people and see things from many different sides. I was, as Paul said, trying to “be all things to all people.” I was so grateful for our church service last night—pulling me back, putting my focus back on the cross, and reminding me of the One Who has numbered our days and has given us hope during what could possibly be the most stressful time for most of us!
That being said, I also realized that I have been burning the candle at both ends for a while and if I don’t take a break, I will break. That is not what my kids need! I would not be succeeding at the Be a Better Mom Challenge, if I didn’t recognize a legitimate need to take Easter weekend off and put my family ahead of my work.
Today, I don’t have five things to tell you. I could, but I won’t. Instead, I have five reasons to not write and post today or tomorrow—my husband and my four children. They need me at my best right now!
Your family needs you too! And I will be back on Monday, cheering you on again!
Until then, please choose to have a Happy Easter, despite your circumstances!
Matthew 28:11 “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
