Day 12: What wears you out as a woman..

I have 3 kids..
3 and under..
You might think..
that would be what wears me out..
It isn't.
Sure some days I feel like I am cleaning up mess..
solving disagreements..
changing diapers
But it doesn't wear me out..

You know what does.
Myself.
I run around thinking I have to do everything..
Everything has to be perfect..
House clean..
Kids fed
(OK feeding children is a priority)
But it all this running around..
I make myself an idol..
I become the one that can do it..
I can handle it..
I am strong..
I completely leave God out of it...
That is what wears me out..
Depending on..
Me

But when I depend on God..
Bring on the dishes..
Bring on the Stress.
Bring on the kids painting the kitchen with chocolate syrup..
We got this.

I can do all things in Him that strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13
