Literally and figuratively I am trimming the excess “fat” from my daily life. Maybe that is too strong of wording, but it’s how I feel right now so I am going with it as I share with you what’s on my heart as I link up with the Real Life Homeschooling Blog Hop.
I have had several ladies tell me over the last few weeks that I am “super mom” and ask “how do I do it all”? Truthfully, I am not a “super mom”! I am just a plain mom doing my best to get what needs to be done each day, feed my crew, trying to get my crew where they need to be at the prescribed times, and I have fallen behind on laundry even when my washer runs 6 days a week. Lately, I have failed, in my own eyes, but I have realized that I can not do it all. Especially not without my Savior and being in the Word daily. The days when I hit the morning running forgoing my quiet times have been some of the most challenging days. I have raised my voice at my children or been short with my husband for no apparent reason except the devil attacking when I am weak. But you know what! My God is more powerful and He has shown me the error of my ways and I am getting back on track one day at a time, moment by moment. He has shown me what needs to be cut out of my day. And even in my stubbornness I am bowing down and realigning obligations in my life by letting go of commitments that are holding me back from the blessings God has in store for me and my family. God has a great plan in store for this Caffey girl and I can’t wait to share with you some of those blessings over the next few weeks and months.
