Overwhelmed

So, this past week we went to Branson with another family.  We shared a double room that had a full kitchen and great amenities (including nightly cookie deliveries - YUM).  With 6 kids running around, I started having some serious doubts about my ability to mother one more child.  It was a little crazy a lot of the time.

But I realized when I got home and it was quiet enough to think, that this is probably right where God wants me.  He needs me to rely on Him for strength, wisdom, everything.  Every. Single. Day.

And I think it's also forcing me to shape up a little.  Get more organized.  Get my priorities in order.  Those kinds of things.

But if you think I'm SuperMom, that I have it all together, that this God-planning-our-family-size thing is second nature, I just wanted to let you know that it's pretty unnerving, even for a seasoned mothering vet.

Too late now!  And God, as always, has given me exactly what I need, when I need it.

If you are walking the fence on something you feel God has called you to do, but just don't feel comfortable doing it, jump in.  God wouldn't call you to it if it wasn't important for you.

This Family-Size journey has been one of my biggest sources of blessings.  And my biggest sources of spiritual growth.  I'm so glad I decided to jump in.

Even though it still scares the Dickens out of me every once in a while.
