A Legacy Passed On

I'm feeling a bit emotional today so please forgive my randomness and scatter brain. It's hard being in a new place with no prospect of having family around to help. At least I would have the option to call for help. Even the proverbs 31 woman had some help. I'm really feeling like I could use some. Crazy morning and I think blogging about it will help me feel better and get things off my chest. This sleep deprived nursing mother awakes to get both a husband a daughter off to school and a baby that needs to be nurse and a house that is unexplainable. I think I have certain standards I personally set for myself which I think you should have but I have to learn and have been learning when to let certain things go that are not a priority. I really have to evaluate what is and is not a priority. Listen, I receive a lot of praise and comments on I don't know how you do it?! And wow you have your hands full.... I do it with God ( as I repeat that throughout my day) and I know I have my hands full. Just like my sweet friend Mrs. Anderson says better me than you. I've had alot of thoughts about the pressures of being a good wife and mother? How is that defined?! My husband is very sweet and does not really require or ask anything of me so this is mainly my thoughts and what I feel is expected of me as a wife and mother. In a way it's also I feel like a way you honor your husband and your children. I'm sure many people and couples have there own set of expectations on what is honoring to their husband and kids. I don't proclaim to be super woman !!! Super mom!! I'm just trying my best to do what is pleasing first to God, my husband and my children. I don't say much about how I'm feeling or what I'm going through but I will say thank you when people say your family is beautiful, how do you do it with 4 kids?! And exhale... I can do all things through Christ with Christ. I hope today that I can exemplify that today and I'm on the edge of my seat today. Dont know what to expect but God im giving you my day.... What would you have me do ?
