As moms, we get so busy that we become overwhelmed by things that don't matter or belong in the core circle of our lives.
How do you view yourself?, your friends, and your family and where do you place them on the layers of your inner life? and where do you think God wants them to be?
I know that most of us would place our kids first within the core, our parents next,our spouse, then friends within the same circle as our spouses. In reality, God should be placed first, your spouse next, then your kids and Friends and acquaintances should be on the outside layers. Think of the layers of circles as your home. Do you allow your friends and family member to live in your kitchen? Your kitchen-is the core of the house which is where God should always be. That's the place where you sit, talk, cook, prepare meals, and sometimes eat meals-It's the center of the house;which is the center of your life.
Translation-God is the center of your life. When you decided to marry the person you are/were in love with-you have become one; which meansand that's the person who should come next in your life. I know it's hard to acknowledge that your kids would come second to your husbnad but that's the way God really wants them positioned.
I know, I know this sounds so off-key because us moms tend to adore our kids more than anything or anyone on the planet and we would leave our husbands/spouses for the satisfaction of our kids.
Placing God first in everything you do, will help you align yourself and the people close to you in the place God wants them to be.
Take the time to get to know yourself and know God so that you can be able to satisfy and be happy with yourself as a person, a mom, wife, friend, etc. I know it's so hard to reposition people and things in your life because you have been living your life by convenience instead of dealing with the reality of your cards that's in your hand.
Change is uneasy and have an overwhelming feeling of not being settled. However, we need to be shaken and moved so that we can figure our way back to Him.
Most of the time, we wonder why things are going so wrong for us, its because God is trying to get your attention to go back on the right path we are destined to be. We lose track of our goals and what He has in store for us because we get wrapped into the social life of having friends and being "best" mom of everything.
We have to realize what's important and weed out what's not. Sometimes we figure it out the first time and sometimes, it takes a tragedy to occur for us to realize who is important and why and who our true friends are(not even a hand-full).
Take time to nurture your soul so that you can nurture your spouse, kids, and friends and family.
Until Next time,
LIVE, LOVe, LEARN-Lesson Learned
