I read this article here, and could totally relate this week. Mentally I've just felt drained and discouraged by all the things that I have to get done and am not getting done. Of course I felt bad for even thinking such wicked, ungrateful thoughts. Instead of being grateful that I got most of my laundry done, I'm thinking "when am I going to find time to do laundry again." One of the things I needed to do was make my children's memory and catechism cards. I got 40 of the catechism cards done yesterday and most of the time I was thinking "When am I going to have time to finish the other 85 cards". I am thankful for productive days and weeks, and I've had a very productive week, but most of the week I kept thinking, "I just want a break". This article really encouraged me. I was glad to find out I'm not alone. All busy moms get overwhelmed sometimes, but we can encourage each other in our God given responsibilities. I thank Jesus for his example, he came as a servant. I am honored to follow in his footsteps as his disciple, I am honored to lay down my life for others, I am honored to be a servant, a handmaiden for the Lord Jesus.
