... Busy

I think Mommybrain's biggest ally is busyness. This week has really been keeping me on my toes with appointments, play dates and the like. Like all great realizations, it wasn't until I was in the shower this morning until it dawned on me that I had not made a blog post today. I was so wrapped up in the "to-do's" it completely slipped my mind.

So in short, today's post is short. Not because I have nothing to say (you all know that's far from the truth), but rather because there is little time to write it down. I'm sure most mommas can relate. We seem to flow through seasons of stillness into the rapids. The busyness isn't all that bad. I makes life exciting and keeps boredom away. However, it is good to know it is only for a season. No matter how long that season may be, rest will come again.

The key I've found is to keep focused on what matters. It's good to be productive as long as it doesn't become the end goal. Laziness may not be a healthy way to spend your time, but neither is overworking. Finding this balance can be hard, especially when you have multiple people fighting for your time. As hard as it is, I believe it is worth seeking. On my own, I'd never have a hope to find rest in the craziness. Thankfully, I'm not on my own. Having a personal relationship with Jesus has meant that I now have a purpose outside of the day to day living, and a strength to fulfil it outside of this tired mind I call mommy brain.

Today I'll rest in knowing I can keep up if I'm holding onto Christ.

Philippians 4:11-13

"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength."
