Do you ever feel like you're on a treadmill filled with obstacles? There you are—walking swiftly and easily, then out of the blue—toys, diapers, and crackers are thrown at you...at which you trip over and crash into the wall?
That's been ME on the daily
Okay, that may have been a bit dramatic (only kind of), but Mommas of littles...I see you.
Motherhood is such a messy-loud-crazy-kind-of-life, and it can seem overbearing at times, but praise God for every crumb and for every clang of a pot. That may be hard to say in the moment, but those early years are so vital. Our kids' hearts are so important.
Life here at the Parsons' household has been a bit hectic between family trips, wrapping up the school year, preparing for VBS, potty training Weston, investing my time into the young women in my life, Jeremy getting a big promotion, & having a coworker pass away. It's months like these where I question my ability to juggle everything; it's easy to loose sight of life's eternal purpose through wordly eyes. If God's strength were not with me, I would surely crash into that wall on the treadmill.
But instead...He scoops me up and carries me.
When you are feeling discouraged or overwhelmed, please hold fast to this truth: God cares about you. He takes on all your troubles—big or small; they are equivalent in his eyes.
Setting aside my normal momma duties, I wanted to make a quick blog post encouraging women going through the same things as me. Mom to mom, if you need someone praying for you, please leave a comment or email me at elizabethmilestones@gmail.com and I'll pray for you diligently.
"...and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place.”
Deuteronomy 1:31
