Being SUPER independent

I used to be the person who had to do everything on my own. I grew up an only child and was very independent. Then through life's experiences I lost trust in others around me. As I became a young woman I took on the moto, "If you want anything done right, do it yourself". Which really added more stress to my already full schedule and allienated others.

My fear and lack of trust was a HUGE stumbling block for a long time. Then one day Jesus spoke to my heart and made me realize what I was doing was super prideful! My independence had turned into something that was hurting me and the ones I loved. So I started small and decided to give others a chance and let go of my ultra high expectations.

I am still a work in progress, but here is what has happened since I started allowing others to help me. My family has taken some of the chores off my shoulders. So less stress for me. I get to see them grow and learn by allowing them the chance to try. Which makes them happy and helps them learn new skills as they grow. I trusted a person who was placed in my life at just the right time, to help me with my health struggles and guess what? I finally lost the extra weight! Which healed my immune issues and now I help others do the same. And those are just a few of the amazing things that have happened from me letting go of my pride.

If you have been struggling like I was with letting go, I encourage you to allow others to help you. Let go of the pride and set the expectations aside. You will have less stress and be filled up in so many beneficial ways. Jesus blesses those who humble themselves, so no matter what you are dealing with your life will improve if you allow a little grace to enter your world.

Need a little support in any of the areas I discussed, message me. I am happy to pay it forward.

The battle is on!

Ughhh...The sickies have made it to our home!  All I want to do is run for cover or put on a gas mask and pray no one coughs, wipes their nose on me or sneezes in my face! Haahhaaa! Such wishful thinking for mommy of three! There's not even the slightest chance I won't at least get sneezed on or have someone wiping their buggers on my shirt. Hey! That’s life when you have little kids. And expecting to have beautiful tops that don’t look like condors eliminated all over them is everyone woman’s dream, but not necessarily a reality! Oh, and how I’d love to wear beautiful clothing on a regular basis. But for now, I’ll settle for my t-shirts, yoga pants and the occasional dress up moment for a special outing. Fancy clothing will have to wait for this Momma, because I don’t get a lot of time to mess around with being ultra-stylish. When I do stop to try and sort out my outfits, do my hair or brush my teeth… is usually the time my toddler or the 5 yr old start going through my ...
