You Were Never Meant to be Everything
I think one of the hardest parts about being a mom… is having to show up no matter what. Even when you’re tired. Even when you’re overwhelmed. Even when you feel like you have nothing left to give. Because those little eyes are always watching. They’re watching how I respond to stress. How I handle frustration. How I love, how I serve, how I recover when I fall short. Some days, it feels like I have to be everything… The chef. The janitor. The teacher. The counselor. The safe place. The steady one. And if I’m honest—that weight can feel like too much. But here’s the truth God keeps reminding me of: I was never meant to be everything. He is. And not only is He everything… He is in me. Strengthening me. Guiding me. Filling in every gap I can’t reach. So even on the days I feel inadequate, I’m still showing my children something powerful— That our strength doesn’t come from having it all together… It comes from knowing the One who does. Every day, I’m pointing my little people back to Him. Not by being perfect… but by being dependent. And that’s enough. 🤍 ✨ What’s one area of motherhood where you’ve been trying to be “everything” instead of letting God step in? Let’s talk about it below.
