Willing to Submit
So this has been a crazy season in my life. Having five kids has been totally overwhelming me.
*sidenote. I hate writing posts like this because I am so richly blessed. There are SO many people that have it worse off than me. It's hard to imagine someone complaining who has five beautiful kids, a loving husband, a house for their family, running water, all the things. I know so many who suffer in major, life-changing ways. But I need to record these feelings, and these are the experiences that have been given to me.

Pretty sure it will be spring in heaven
Back in May I went for a walk in my favorite park at the height of spring. We live in a small(ish) town, and sometimes I have the park to myself. The blossoms danced prettily in the gusts of wind, the sun played peek-a-boo with the petals as I snapped picture after picture, trying to capture this beautiful, beautiful world and the euphoria I felt. I'm pretty sure it will be spring in heaven.
Where to look in times of trouble
It used to be I
would look in the wrong place when I was discouraged and needed answers. When I
encountered a day that shook me, a day where I wondered what I was doing wrong
as a mother or how I could be inspired to be different, I would read blogs or instagram,
searching for something I could hold on to. Someone who had 'figured it out'
that would help me figure my life out too.

Where Negative Thoughts Come From
Negative thoughts
come from Satan. They are not created in your own mind.

Is it your dream or is it pride?
I used to think that
I wanted to write a book or I wanted to have a widely read blog. I thought that
was my dream. But what I've realized over time is that that "dream"
was a manifestation of my own pride. I wanted to be well-liked and considered
"right" or smart. I feel called to blog, so I thought, "This
will help me accomplish my dream! The Lord is helping me realize this 'dream'
of mine."
Saying Yes to Help
Life is hard. Do you
feel that way? I'd have to say it took me becoming a mother to really
understand how much I could use and needed help from others. In our society,
though, people who are strong, people who can do it all by themselves, people
who don't "need" anyone else are celebrated and praised.
