God has been whispering to me lately. Trying to get a few things through my very thick skull that I have been having a hard time grasping.
Pounding this truth into my heart… this steady baseline underneath the chaos that is constantly screaming at me that I am failing.
And I think you might need to hear this too. Maybe even say it out loud to yourself.
This:
I am a good mom. I am good enough. I am exactly the right mom for my kids. Nobody else could be their mom better than I can.
He chose me to be their mom. Me.
Not the mom next door who always looks like she’s happy, calm and has everything under control. Not the friend whose life looks so perfect sometimes, it’s hard to see her as anything else. Not even my Grandma or my own mom, who did amazing jobs as moms…
He chose me.
And He chose you. God chose you… the exact person to be the best mom to your kids.
Let that sink in for a bit. And then read this and Chill Out.
You are good enough. You are a great mom.
