Rantings and Ravings of a Busy Mom: Sometimes

I wrote this a coule weeks ago after a particularly crazy day......and after last week, thought I needed to read it again and be reminded of what God shared with me!

Sometimes......I try my best to be SUPER MOM, only to realize, in the middle of the whirlwind

My cape has flown off

Sometimes......I feel I am treading water; barely keeping my head above the waves, realizing

I may sink at any moment

Sometimes......I take the DEEPEST BREATH I can and dive in; only to realize, 100 feet under,

my breathe wasn't deep enough

And now I am hoping, praying for an oxygen tank to float by

Sometimes......I feel like a rag doll in a hurricane; tossed and pulled in three different directions

by three little voices

with three different needs

while I'm making super

organizing schedules

doing homework

and trying to leave........So I can breathe, even if only for an hour

 

 

And then I realize

Sometimes I need a NEW FOCUS and a

NEW PERSPECTIVE

 

 

 

Sometimes......It is ok to not be SUPER and just be MOM, cause that is all they want anyway

Just Me

Sometimes......Instead of barely keeping my head above the water, I stop my frantic treading

and enjoy

the refreshing coolness of the water

from the heat of my day

and I give thanks

Sometimes......Instead of taking the DEEPEST BREATH ever and plunging in; I exhale

let my hair down

and realize

I am not sinking

Rather

I am on the ride of my life

the wind is in my face

the convertable top is down

my hands are in the air

 I suck in the craziness of it all

Sometimes......Instead of being torn and tossed in three different directions; I allow the storm to be

silenced

with HIS WORD

Peace

and with great enjoyment

I watch and see

the life of each child unfold

each talent become revealed

each heart full of what HE has placed inside

And I marvel

That I was chosen to go along for the ride

and watch them thrive

 

 

It is then, I realize........Not SOMETIMES, but ALWAYS

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED!
