Today has been a day where it felt like every possible curveball was thrown my way. I felt defeated and overwhelmed as my to-do list grew while I struggled to keep up with the kids’ activities and my other obligations.
I am so grateful I was able to attend Bible study yesterday. I don’t think I could have navigated today’s challenges without the power of prayer and the fellowship of others who seek to grow with Jesus. Sharing our laughs, tears, and vulnerabilities reminded me of our collective need for the Savior’s presence.
This season of my life is becoming increasingly complex, and I feel the Lord is working to break my stubborn independence. Today’s challenges specifically touched on stability and moving—areas I take pride in—and though solutions were available, I felt a deep sense of disappointment. I realized the Lord was telling me to slow down and ask for help, but I resisted, fearing the potential letdown of relying on others.
It is humorous in hindsight, but in the moment, I felt only frustration and rage. The Lord told me to stop trying to be “superwoman,” and He even sent two people to remind me of that truth. Had I listened, I could have saved myself money and the feeling of being alone.
So often, the days we dread are the result of delayed obedience. I’ve realized that while I pray for a supportive community, I often reject it because it doesn’t look the way I envisioned. We aren’t meant to do life alone, and I think it’s time I give full obedience a shot.
“For I know the plans I have for you.”
Until next time,
