Relying on God's Strength

We've been busy....so busy. I sit and wonder how everyone gets everything done! And then I sit back and come to my senses that everything doesn't get done! What a lie I tell myself! ha! I have these unreachable expectations of how I feel I should run the household. I have to snap back to reality every now and again and laugh at my desire to have everything perfect!

It will never be perfect.

I'm too busy raising two, sweet, little girls, caring for a wonderful husband and too busy helping with our new family members.....2 bunnies and 4 baby chicks! The girls actually care for them much more than I have. They have fallen in love with our mini farm!

I'm very proud of the care they've been giving our furry friends!!

Sweet little bunny checking out the new chicks!  We also kept my niece the day we got the chicks from the farm supply! She loved them!

This week I have been crazier than normal cause with the help of some friends we've been planning a baby shower for one of my dearest friends! It's this Saturday! We've been planning it for months so I've been crafting it up! I love planning things and I love crafting and making things myself instead of buying them. Even though I love it, I still get overwhelmed cause I try and do too much. I just see so many things I would love to do and I get in over my head. Thankfully I have lots of other people working with me so it's not going to be as overwhelming!!

I've had to revamp my priorities a little in order to get everything worked in. My house has not been as picked up cause I've been sewing, painting, baking, making fabric flowers and paper flower punches for some extra little touches. And all this on top of school days with the girls and work at night. It's no wonder I feel a little crazy from time to time.... or daily!! ha!

But, I do sometimes find myself relying too much on my strength and not the strength God has for me. When I start to burn out and wonder why I'm falling apart I soon realize I'm trying to do life without God's power. I've come to know it's just impossible!  I'm thankful for His gentle reminders and nudges that I need to reach out for His help DAILY!!

Are you relying on God today or your own strength? It's easy to try and do it on our own but God's there to help you!! I hope you rely on Him today!!

And so, I'm off to fix breakfast and get our school day started!! Hopefully I will rely on God when I sit down to do math with my oldest!! I need all the Jesus I can get during that time!! :)
