Everyone has those days. You know, those days where nothing seems to be happening the way you want it to & you just kind of feel like a let down. That was my day yesterday & I can still feel it lingering on this morning.
{I could also feel off to a bad start because the power went out, turned off G's music & sound machine, & startled him awake at 4:45am...but, that's another story.}
Nothing extreme happened yesterday, it just wasn't the best day ever. My car was being worked on ALL day, G only napped for 40 minutes, I felt sick off & on, and I just had negative thoughts. Those annoying thoughts that you start to over-think & they just totally consume your brain. Yeah, those. Am I being the best mom I can be? Am I being the best wife I can be? Do I need to contribute more to our little family? Am I ready to have a new baby again? Will I be able to handle 2 kids at once? One little thought spirals out of control.
It's amazing to me that in those moments, when I don't feel like I am enough, the Lord just speaks to me. He is enough. That is what replayed over & over in my head last night as I was falling asleep. A reassuring way to end a not-so-great day.
He is enough. I do the best that I can & am a work in progress, but HE is enough. And goodness, I need to write that all over my mirror so I can remember that I will never be perfect. No matter how hard I try. And I'm not supposed to be.
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." - 2 Corinthians 12:9

We all have those days. I have those thoughts often, wondering if I'm ready for this or that...if I'm doing the best I can. I think it means we are normal. :)
Totally have those days hope it gets better and you will be wonderful with two have faith in yourself:)
I get that way too, thanks for the good reminder!
I think we've all been there - it's normal and this too shall pass. We're all trying our best and that's what counts!
We had a sermon recently called "Is God Enough?" Exactly what you are talking about. It was good to revisit it again through your eyes. You amaze me!
He most certainly is. Thanks for the reminder!
