Life

Life.
I'm struggling finding my place. I struggle with my faith. I struggle with relationships. I struggle with being a mom, wife and woman. I struggle with my body image.
The things I know:
I love being a mom. My kids are my whole world, they have shaped me and made me better than I  ever imagined I could be. My husband loves me more than I deserve.
I have a lot of wonderful friends. I make mistakes...everyday. Life is messy. Life goes by too fast. Life is more beautiful since becoming a mother. Forgiveness is a painful necessity. Moving on is harder said than done. I absolutely love Pandora radio. God never gives you more than you can handle. God has always provided for us (even though my husband doesn't believe.)

I have found comfort in new friends, my children, and the Bible.  Lately, I have solace in Galatians 5:22-23 - Fruit of the Spirit. "By contrast, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control."

I guess these were just some thoughts I had this morning...just ramblings of a mom that has a few minutes before the chaos starts.

Tara,

I am so touched by your honesty in your blog. Everything you wrote I can relate to. This is the most challenging time of my life, and I struggle with who I am as well. You are not alone in this.
