At Rest

Hello Mama!
Here at the Ware household we recently welcomed a new baby. In the midst of all the cuddles and newness that a sweet baby brings I have found myself struggling to let others help me. My mother-in-law that I am so blessed with, laughed with me as I mistakenly thought that by baby number five I would be relaxed and let others help me. But what I am constantly learning is that I have not arrived at that “I’ve got this figured out” place, and I probably never will.
I’m not perfect or perfect at letting go of my expectations. I struggle letting things be messy or not sticking to the schedule. I want to maintain normalcy. Ugh, how frustrating my own shortcomings can be! Maybe you feel this way too.
There can be so much beauty in the struggle. In my weakness Jesus is strong. In my struggle to surrender He is waiting to embrace my messy emotional heart. He is ready to forgive my striving and not trusting. How good He is to us!
Matthew 11:28–30 Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
I am learning to rest instead of “doing.” I am learning to trust God with my husband’s heart and the stress he feels. I am accepting opportunities to be flexible and CHILL OUT. Although I do a lot of things well (thank God!), resting is not easy for me. I am still growing and I invite you to grow with me.
Cheering for you, mama!
