Attempted to make some changes this week, like having a quiet time and for the most part, I did well. It was so awesome and refreshing to feel His Spirit once again. I also cut back time spent on the computer and made time to read to my boys, enjoy the moments with them. Cole is six months today and I am loving every minute. It makes me sad actually, he grows so fast. Life is going too fast.
I wish to treasure every moment. Stop and make the most of every hour with my kids, my spouse and for me.
We turned off our cable two weeks ago, best thing we did. Life seems so much more alive to me and I seem more aware of all the opportunities around me.
To play with my boys.
To gaze into their eyes and enjoy the innocence.
To stop and gather my thoughts.
To have a quiet moment with God.
I know it is vital for me to protect and guard my schedule to avoid getting so busy that I miss these moments. So busy that I am driving from one event to the next, squeezing one more thing into my day. Even if it is for the kids, even if it is for the church. Staying so busy causes us to miss all the little things and breathing in God's blessings in our lives.
I would encourage every mom to stop.
Take one minute and stop.
Look at your schedule this week, why is it so full?
Do you need to be busy to feel important?
Slow down, say no, cancel things you can.
In that moment that you cancel and cut things from your schedule, you give yourself, your children and family a gift,
Free yourself up to breath in all God's little moments and blessings all around you.
