Light in the Mommy Battle

I am currently trying to add more DIY Projects to my blog, but I found this from a while back and wanted to share. I know there are other frustrated Moms out there. Just letting you know, YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

The Battle is Real:

People have told me that I always look “put together,” and that I always seem happy. Well let me tell you, on the outside I might look like Mary Poppins or the lollypop guild scene out of Wizard of Oz (not really…), but inside of me it’s like one of those major battles straight out of Lord of the Rings is ever-raging.

During the turmoil, horns blow, and another army comes in to fight. For example, one of my kids starts crying when I’ve just entered into a deep sleep – Horn Blows. Sometimes the army within me that appears is a good one, other times it feels like evil is winning the fight. The baby cries, and I wake up feeling like one of those jumbo nasty orcs or that big flaming eyeball from Lord of the Rings. I want to be angry. I want to give in to the pity party. I think “I can’t do this anymore. I cannot be without sleep another night. I am losing my sanity.”

Keep it Together:

Usually I am pretty good at managing those emotions in my actions. I endure. I try to focus on the good things. I know I will look back on these days and see them as such a short time. I will wish I just rested more. That I hadn’t let the turmoil and difficulty overshadow the wonderful, beautiful, and miraculous time that I get to spend with my children. They are truly a gift….., but it is much easier said than done….

Let There Be Light:

It seems like the good in me is a tiny force against so much darkness. It is difficult for me to gather all of the peace-keeping forces within myself and radiate light. However, I must be succeeding somewhere because I do feel overall that I am a genuine person. What is coming across on the outside must reflect in some way what is happening on the inside. Even though battles rage, light will always overcome darkness! Even when I feel like I am in a deep dark pit, just a tiny flicker of light illuminates my current situation and leads me through that dark place to safety.

I am ever-aware that another battle will come, but I know who to put my FAITH in. God is always with me. I have a direct connection to the Light!

Genesis 1:2-3

Blessings,

I Would Rather Have Strep Throat…

I woke up a couple of days ago with a very sore and very swollen throat. I didn’t think much of it, because my youngest daughter had been sick the week before. I just assumed my body was trying to fight it off. Then I woke up yesterday and it felt worse. I decided to […]

You will Never get Fully Clean in Your Old Machine

I have learned that sometimes it is better to pay the full price and get new. Buying a new washer & dryer taught me that sometimes paying full price is worth the cost. Jesus paid full price to make us clean, and we are new creations in Him…. Here is the story of how I […]

Why I am So Sick of Webinars!

What I’ve Learned From Webinars: I have wasted too many hours watching webinars. I have learned a lot from them, but very little of it has helped me personally in any way shape or form. I have come to realize many things about webinars themselves, and I hope if I ever make one that I […]

The Struggle is Real, but There’s Power in Connection

Searching for Self-Help: Lately, I’ve been doing an overall assessment of my life and trying my best to make improvements, stay motivated, and change my thinking. I’ve been reading a lot of what I would call Christian self-help books as well as blog posts from successful bloggers. Chronically, I find myself wondering whether I will […]

Recipe Sesame – Spinach Chicken Pasta

  Spinach Chicken Pasta – Yum Tonight I whipped this recipe up from scratch. I talk about how to do this in my post Recipe Sesame: How to make dinner when you fail to plan. Ingredients: 1 – Large Chicken Breast – cut into small chunks 2Tbls – Butter 1 – Large Vine Tomato – […]

Recipe Sesame – How to make dinner when you’ve failed to plan.

Recipe Sesame – Meal Planning Failure: I wish that I could say that I am a meal-planning guru, but sadly I am not. I have had some experience with freezer meals, but otherwise, I am more of a wing-it wonder. Out of pure necessity, I have learned to excel at creating meals from what I […]

Hidden Pantry Storage Solution

Where is This Hidden Storage You are Not Utilizing? It is staring you in the face. You may not realize it, but the door that you open and close every time you enter your pantry is an excellent area for added storage. If you have a small area for food storage, as I do, you […]

Where’s the Joy in Happy New Year

Today is the last day of 2016. I think over the past year with bittersweet reflection. As a stay-at home-mom, I consider all of the beautiful moments with my awesome kids and how I must be doing something right with them, because they are so great. I love them with all my heart, and I […]

Lyme Slime Taking My Time – My Lyme Story Part 6

Lyme Slime Hanging Onto Me: I saw my doctor yesterday. The Lyme was still “gone,” but he did find a lyme co-infection in my brain and quite a few other things that are causing me to still feel crappy. I keep wondering, when I will feel better?! I struggle to keep faith in the process […]

Silk Almond Nog Review

I Cannot Believe It! Dairy-Free Eggnog. Yes!!! I am so happy to be doing this Silk Almond Nog Review! This is my first product review for my blog, and I am super excited about this product! Every year, I buy eggnog for my husband. He loves it. I love it too, but it does not […]

Free Ice Water & A Little Faith

I’m Still Here: You may have been wondering why it has been so long since I have written a blog post.. I think this is my first bout of “blogger’s block.” Like “writer’s block,” but with a blog. The one year anniversary for this blog came and went, and I had to make a big […]

How To Contact Paper the Back of a Shelf

Cheap (Inexpensive)-Shelf-Addict: I would definitely consider myself a cheap-shelf-addict. I am obsessed with those little shelves you can buy for next to nothing new and even closer to nothing at yard sales. I love them so much because they are cheap (inexpensive) and VERSATILE. They can be a book shelf, a craft organizer, a toy […]

How to Paint a Herringbone Pattern

Herringbone is very on-trend right now, and the pattern seemed like the perfect match for my large wall in my living room. I searched for other people’s projects on Pinterest, but did not really find many DIY posts on the topic. I hope people wanting to go for this awesome look, will find this post […]

Roads & Reflections

Time to Take a Crazy Drive: I recently went on a spur of the moment road trip to see my family. This is not something that I do. EVER! My Dad called up and said he had the coming week off, and that we should drive down. I hadn’t seen my Dad in about 4 […]

Lyme Treatment FollowUp – My Lyme Story (Part 5)

Lyme Treatment FollowUp: In the Dumps The last post I wrote about my Lyme issues was a pretty big downer. I was feeling pretty crummy for about 3 weeks prior to this week.  I was losing faith in the whole process (Lyme Stop), and was having anxiety over seeing Dr. Smith for my Lyme-Stop Treatment […]

You Rip What You Sew

You Rip What You Sew – Unwarranted Confidence: My second set of curtains ever was almost finished. I thought, “Wooohooo, three panels down and one to go.” I held up the panel I was working on and realized I had folded the seam the wrong way and sewed it up. I held up the last […]
