Making the minutes count!

So I have been really struggling with feelings of guilt lately over being away from my kids for over 40 hrs a week...especially if one of them cries when I leave:(  But as my husband always says, I just need to make the time we are together really count... which is hard to do after you come home from a stressful day of work!  I was lucky enough to be a stay at home mom for almost 3 years. I would be perfectly happy to be a stay at home mom now...but this is what I need to be doing for my family.  Most days I feel like I'm not able to do anything well...that I'm only able to do enough to stay afloat...clothes get washed but never put away, put out all the "fires" at work but never get ahead, only get to read 1 book with the kids instead of as many as they want...I often feel like a failure...as a wife, as a mother, and an employee.  But then I remember that I can't do any of these things alone no matter how hard I try. The only way I am ever able to succeed at anything I do is with God's help. So to all the other working mom's out there who feel like they are failing...give it to God!  You can't do it in your own strength but with God's help, ALL things are possible!


 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

                                                                    -Matthew 19:26

These little men bring laughter, tears, fun, and joy to our lives!  

I feel so privileged to be a mother!
