Priorities

Tonight my daughter Stacey and I were chatting about "priorities" in life and in particular, for moms with young children. I was quickly transported back in time when I was a young mom of two precious little girls.


On one hand, it seems so long ago and yet, memories quickly take me back, as though it were just yesterday! I remember the days when I had a young family and I had such a desire to "do it all". I quickly learned that God didn't expect me to and I couldn't do anything good if I was trying to do too much. I had to be reminded that my priority was my family and that God had given me my girls for a brief time to impact and mold them into the young ladies God had designed them to be.

Looking back on those days, I wouldn't change a thing. We struggled financially so that I could be a stay at home mom but I'm so thankful for that time with my girls. I had to learn to trust God to provide and He never let me down! There were time when He really s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d my faith but those experiences give me confidence now that God is watching over me and knows my needs today!

I promise you that there will always be time for all the other "stuff". Today, seek God and His desire for you and trust Him for the details. He is faithful and it's so worth it!
