Thank you for opening my eyes. I forgot who I was, and what my purpose was, but I have found me again.
Under all the mommy shirts, jeans, and all day slippers, I have found my own look. I not only take pride in taking care of myself, but I know Lord that taking care of myself is showing me that I care about Our relationship.
It’s impossible to save others, if you cannot help yourself. So Lord, January, I will be focused on me.
Not to be selfish, but me in relation to my family, and basic needs.
I cannot do the job you entrusted to me (motherhood, being a wife), if I do not take care of my personal well-being or happiness.
Just this week alone, I noticed that my happiness is contagious.
While I focus on health, style, and self-love, I know in the process I’m teaching my daughter how a woman and a mother takes care of her self and her basic needs.
After all, she is my sheep, and I am her shepherd; I’m supposed to gently guide her to adulthood.
Thank you.
Amen.

This is just what I needed to read this evening. I have been having a hard time balancing the me I use to be and motherhood and also know I need to find my way back to God. Any advice you care to give would be greatly appreciated.
