Happy Friday Mom's,We made it!!!!
Recently, I realized that I was truly tired. My body was screaming for rest that my mind just didn't seem willing to give it. The gift of mothering is a gift that keeps on giving, and BOY do we give a lot. As a mother, it can be easy to get overwhelmed and stressed all at one time. During times such as these, I remind myself that God is still in control, no matter how busy I may get. I am a vessel to be used for his glory and in being such a delicate masterpiece; I must learn the ART of being "STILL".
Psalms 46:10 says "Be still and know that I am God..."
God didn't tell us to be "Be Worried" or "Be Stressed" or even "Be Overwhelmed" and know that he is God. He told us to be still. This means that when life hits us and the day is moving faster than we can handle, stillness should be our goal.
What does this mean for you as a mother? Hit the BRAKE or I guess you could say, TAKE A BREAK!!!! It is okay to admit that you are tired and need some quiet time. It doesn't mean that we don't love our families because we need some time away from them. It simply means that we are functioning just as God created us.
So Today, I would like to encourage you to Be Still, take a break, step away from the oven!!! It's Friday, which means things are allowed to be thrown off a little, it's the end of the week. Smile, Breathe and Enjoy your day!!!
Final Question: What are some things you can do to be still WHILE the children are home?

Amen,Rachel! I think some of us are wondering out here how you read our minds.
Rachel, Praise God. Until now I thought that The Mom Squad was for only mom's, and then I realized okay, "I are a mom". I have been so busy being a grandmother, and great-great grandmother, that I have lost my mom identity. Your blog speaks to me in another way, it lets me realize its okay to say no, and spend sometime for me. Your blog is conformation. But, how can I build a relationship with my children, who I never get to spend time with one-on-one, I feel I am missing out on important time with them? Can you give me some insight on this? Thank you again, for you inspirational blog.
