Dear Mom,
As women, we are often pulled in all different directions – doing good things – but are they the “best” things? When we live exhausted, going this way and that – step back and ask God what He wants you to be doing, or not doing – whatever the case may be. Generally, as moms, we have a hard time saying “no”. In my young mom years, there were times I should have said, “No, I can’t take that on”, but didn’t. We get overextended and in the end, hurt ourselves. Sometimes we say too many “yes’s”. Lord give us wisdom in this area.
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light”. Matthew 11:28-30
