Sighing

We are rolling with our fall routine...I like staying busy and we have several different activities throughout each week. I still have some days where we have no committments, and we can head to the library for storytime or grab lunch with a friend.

But, many days lately I have found myself sighing. It seems like in this season of my life it's so hard to do a great job in each of my roles. I have some days where I am a great mom but find myself lacking in the great wife category. Other days I may be a great wife but I failed to spend that quality time alone and with God. I have found myself sometimes physically sighing as I go from task to task throughout my day and feeling frustrated that I am succeeding in some areas and falling short in others.

I know that all of these feelings are normal and that just like the seasons change our responsibilities and committments also change and adjust. I pray that God will help me learn how to better "be"...a wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend...instead of always "doing."

In this season I am also soaking up the joys that come with being a mom and enjoying the time I have with the children I have longed for and prayed for for so long...the answers to many, many prayers.





Today, Mary Kenzie was having fun getting me to put these sunglasses on her and then she would take them off and say "boo!" She was cracking herself up and kept bringing the glasses to me so that I could put them on her over and over again. We just laughed and laughed and I sat there in awe...once again...that I get to be her mommy. Amazing!
