What does having a MOMMY DAY look like to you??
I am taking a MOMMY DAY today and what this looks like to me is a day without my beautiful children needing me. It is a day that I can get things done but they might not be things on my to-do list. Do you take time to relax and enjoy a day of just doing the things you want to instead of the things you NEED TO?? Every mom has a different set of demands whether it is the intense time from a mother with an only child or the continuous needs of a mom with multiple children. Whether they are healthy or have special needs we all have demands and we all handle them differently.
How do you refuel? Are you OK with saying I need a break? If you are like me you feel the need to draw closer to God in these times but the tugging and pulling of your everyday tasks to be sure all your school check lists are done, your home check lists are done, appointments are scheduled, etc take you from doing the thing you need the most.
I have walked through several bible studies over the years after having my children and have realized that our time with the LORD will refuel us. So, with that, if we can OPEN up our day in the word and really soak it in, letting all the distractions of this world go. We will walk through our day using his strength from his words in the best book on this planet, THE BIBLE.
You might feel like me, well I already have to get up so early with my kids that it is hard to try and get up any earlier. I promise, IF YOU DO, your time will be blessed!!! If your children still beat you to it, sit still with them and REFUEL for 10-15 minutes. Keep trying to make this part of your everyday life.
I understand the struggle because I was there, and I still have days where I am woken up at 5:00am with my youngest child pulling back my covers from my bed. I just think if you try, you will see the difference.
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for JOY and be GLAD all our days. Psalm 90:14
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
I am taking a DAY but try to take some MOMMY TIME...you deserve it!!! XO
