Uninspired

That’s just how I’ve felt the last month with writing. I think of something that I want to share, but then, putting pen to paper has been such a struggle.

I’ve been in a rut where I don’t think people will care to read what I have to say right now. Overall, I’m in a season with a lot of change happening.

Honestly, most of it has been really good change, getting physically healthy has been so enlightening. Finishing up our first year of homeschooling and kindergarten has been amazing. And even being in the kitchen even more now, as well as sewing because of better time management has been wonderful.

But, there are still some days where things seem more mundane on the outside then the way I see them on the inside. I love routines. I personally thrive off of them, but sometimes looking back on my days, I’m like “why would anyone care to read about how I’m okay with folding laundry but loath the dishes”, or how I can’t go out anymore on a daily basis without getting the comment “your hands are full”.

Are my chores important just inside my home? Yeah! Do the people who notice me tramping outside the store carrying a car seat and holing 2 kids hands know that my heart is even fuller because of them? No, not really.

But that’s okay!

My mundane is a part of the picture I get when I think of the many mothers raising children throughout history. Not so much seeing it as a sacrifice but proud of the role God placed them in. Serving their families. Raising up strong capable children that would otherwise not have been without a mother.

I love my role as a mom. The mundane and the simple.

Change is essential to growth, and so is learning to flow with it.

I’m thankful for the Holy Spirits leading and assurance that God is with me through it all. 🙌

Mammas you’re doing great!

You’re fellow mamma,
