3rd week

Going on week three of working...I have to say I am not doing a good job juggling everything I have to do. The laundry has been suffering the most.  I've never been really good handing a lot on my plate at once, emotionally I get overwhelmed and physically I am beat.  I'm not sure what to do in this situation but I know that "this too shall pass." I'm thankful my husband husband understands that I want to be a stay at home "wife-then mommy"  so that's what were working toward.  But I need God to help me with the patience and the energy and the calm nerves.  I don't know how to make it all work...

  1. I can really relate. I don't do well with a lot on my plate either. I like to have one thing at a time as much as possible. When we were first married I worked and our home was not as much of a priority as I would have liked. I wanted nothing more than to be a stay at home wife and mom and the waiting was sometimes hard.. But we worked toward the goal of me being able to stay at home and it happened! I pray that it will happen soon for you and that God will give you his grace and peace as you go through this season.

  2. Believe me I think we all can relate to this! Whenever I work or school starts back up, the home always seems to suffer a little. No matter how hard I try. Hopefully you'll be able to eventually be a stay at home wife/mother. Ideally that's something I'd like in the future too. It's in GOD's hands. For now I know what I have to do...Sometimes we have to do things we don't really want for a while so we can get to the point where we're able to have our desires. I'm sure it's all part of GOD preparing us for HIS plan. :0)

  3. i am just like you. i'm so not good at juggling things. i remember 5 years ago when i was in college full time, working full time and had just gotten married to a man in ministry (which of course, requires so much of your time!) and i was like a walking zombie! but, thankfully that season passed. now that i'm a mom, i'm realizing that there is still so much to juggle! i'm excited that you are working towards your goal of being a stay at home wife/mom! - may the Lord grant you the desires of your heart!

  4. Oh Meg! I totally know how that is. I get overwhelmed easily too, and you have no idea how many times I've said today "this too shall pass" with all the drama going on w/ my pup. He's still not doing well. Not eating, drinking, taking his pills, or anything. Just shivers and whimpers, and looks pathetic with the occasional freak out. It's awful - and I'm a wreck! Already had a super busy week, then life's on hold all of a sudden. How in heaven's name will I keep everything in the air? Grace for each day though girl. Remember that God won't give us more than we can handle! You're in my prayers... Sending a hug!

  5. I had to work for the first 3 1/2 years of our marriage before I could stay home. We literally worked so that we could have a baby and so I could stay home. I know where you are coming from because there were some days that I went to work wishing I could just stay home. But in God's timing, it happened.
