Today I just wanted to stop and tell you good job! I don't think we hear that enough in our lives, especially as mommas. We give a lot of "good job" out during the day but truth be told we don't hear it a lot for ourselves too much.
I know the roll of motherhood has it's challenges and can seem overwhelming at times. We all have days that seem to trudge on forever;
- To do lists that never stop growing
- Kids who constantly want something (seriously how many times have you sat down on the royal throne only to have the door pounded on with someone begging you to do x,y,z)
- We need to keep the budget going and balance the books
- Keep our relationships alive and healthy with our main squeeze of a man slice
- Keep the house clean and organized
- Make breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Manage everyone's schedules
- Self care so we don't snap
- Read our scriptures and have personal meditation
- Serve others
- Work and keep everything else running so we can help pay the bills
And the list goes on and on! Oof it's tiring just thinking about it all! But have you ever stopped and looked at the other side of that stressful coin?
Have you stopped and looked at that coin, flipped it over and realized just how amazing you are because you CAN accomplish all of that! You HAVE accomplished all of that day in and day out!
- You got those kids off to school even though you had to remind them for the 14,336,442 time to brush their teeth
- You balanced that budget
- You brushed your own teeth and showered
- You picked up the toys and even cleaned a little
- You made mac and cheese from the box cause you were too tired to make anything else
- You read a vs of scripture today
- You smiled and waved at a neighbor when checking your mail
- You unloaded the dishwasher
- You hugged your hubby and told him you loved him
- You read that book to your kiddo
- You got out of bed!
The next time you find yourself wanting to hide in your closet with a bag of chocolate chips, cause it's the only chocolate you could find in the house, and sob into a pillow, I encourage you to stop and take a deep breath, say a prayer and remind yourself that you are doing a good job!
You accomplish way more than you think! I know this roll of motherhood is challenging and way harder than you ever thought it would be, but never forget "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me" Philippians 4:13
He knew you would be the mother your children needed! He knows you can fulfill your divine calling to be a mother! He knows you!
So just to recap, you are amazing! You can do all things through Christ! Give yourself grace and focus on what you have done when the stress of it all gets too overwhelming, cause I guarantee you'll see you're doing a good job!
