God has decided to grow our family again, and we are expecting baby #4 in September 2012. We are so excited and know that this new little one is a blessing from above. As soon as the giddiness of sweet visions of little baby toes and fingers wears off a little, the reality sets in and I freak out a bit....Ok...alot! I will be going back to sleepless nights, we have no room in our little house, we need a mini-van now, we have NO health insurance and how will I homeschool with 4 kids....!!!!
Ok, I take a deep breath...slowly, as I rest in God's hands and remember that I am not in control, He reassures me. The things that seemed so big, are shrinking. All the chaos I see and feel is something I am creating that does not need to be apart of my life.
God does not promise to keep us from having crazy lives, but He will help us handle it! He gives us plenty of resources to get us through, we need only to grab hold of them and not let go!
1. His Word--start your day in God's word
2. Prayer-give your self time to talk to your Savior
3. Believing Friends--you are NOT the only one struggling with the day to day life of motherhood, finances, household, ect. Be encouraged by them and pray for each other.
4. Church and mom groups--get involved, get out and be a blessing. Don't shut yourself up at home and wait for people to come wait on you. Get out and bless others, you can help in the midst of your business and be fruitful for the kingdom!
