in just 10 short weeks we will meet our little guy.
while i am extremely excited about that.
right now i am starting to feel very overwhelmed.
my to do list just keeps growing and i just don't feel like i can get much accomplished.
i know it will all work out and we will be ready for baby brother.
but right now we are at the "it gets worse before it gets better" stage.
and it's hard to believe it will all get better. that we will actually get all these things done.
especially since the daily and weekly around the house tasks don't go away.
those three sweet girls still need me (like constantly) and i need them. i need to be their mom.
i still need to spend time with tim.
and i want so desperately to relax and enjoy this pregnancy.
i am starting to feel like i am not enough. like i will just not be able to get all the things i want to get done completed.
yesterday i read an instagram post talking about just this.
it hit home.
the post said how we are actually not designed to be enough. only He is enough.
only HE is enough.
but He said to me "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weaknesses" therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 2 corinthians 12:9
while i am not extremely overwhelmed right now, i can sense the stress creeping in.
i know i can't and don't need to do this all on my own.
i need to give myself some grace.
i need to rely on God.
so starting today i am going to number one make sure i am spending time reading my bible, doing my daily devotional and giving my worries and concerns to God. i know if i start here everything else will work out. it just will.
also i created one big ole ginormous to do list. really i do love to do lists and i so enjoy crossing things off. i am going to start to break it down into little bits. instead of trying to get it all down i am going to try to just accomplish something everyday.
and i am going to allow myself to rest.
