“What would my life look like if I only focused on glorifying the Lord?” What if I just let go of all the little things that worry me? What if I stopped trying to take control over my family, my businesses and my life? What if I just spent my time here on earth praising him. 

My body is becoming my own again. My time is more flexible for the things I enjoy. My mind has space for complete thoughts. My heart is open to dreaming again. 

For as long as I can remember, friendship for me has been two-fold: something both sacred and hard.

This process is something I am wrestling with firsthand in this season. It is incredibly difficult to look at my schedule and realize that not only is it unreasonable to assume all the commitments can be done without utter exhaustion, but also recognize that this impossible spider-webbed limbo of expectations was something I thought I actually wanted. 

What I am saying is that when I worry too much about all the dangers that could be lacing our food or medications, MY mental health is affected. 

In every step and season of motherhood, I felt as if I was taking one step further away from me. Whoever I was supposed to be, at my core, felt unfamiliar and distant.

Don’t lose yourself in everything that you feel you are supposed to be doing.
