Being Mom Moments

One Step at a Time

October 24, 2012 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Last night was hard. With my husband being out if town for military duty, I found myself home alone with my kids. Now that’s nothing new, but I by the end of the night, with all of it’s ups and downs, I was really stressed. I was going to do some school work, but I ended up passing out.

20121024-100547.jpgNow this morning wasn’t much easier. My oldest son and I had to have a talk and that was stressful in itself. Now I’m sitting here thinking about the things that I need to get done for today and it seems like a lot.

Being a mother isn’t always easy. There are times when it all feels like too much and those are the times that I have to take a step back and pray. If I’m completely honest, mothering isn’t the only thing that feels like that, at times, but that’s life.

I look forward to having a better day today, which means that I have to make it happen.

I’m getting ready to sit down at my trusty planner and write out my thoughts and plans for the day. Once I do that and confidently place one foot in front of the other, I know that God will take car of the rest.

In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9

This is my scripture for today. I have to remember that God is the one that will order things as I make plans. Confidently, I give God all that I have today, knowing that He will take care of me and all that I have.

As stressful as yesterday was, today, I begin anew and refreshed. I take it upon myself to take authority in my life and not to allow any confusion. When it come in, I will not entertain it, but instead I will take a stand an move forward as God has called me to do in his word.

Should I Revise My Blog

August 19, 2012 By Mrs. Mom 2 Comments

You would think that I had this all figured out by now.  I have been blogging for about 2-3 years and I’m still asking myself the same questions.  This must mean that I didn’t answer those questions, right?!  I’ve been wondering what are the boundaries that I will not cross when it comes to blogging?  What is my purpose in blogging?  Is this something that I want to pursue personally or professionally?

After thinking about some of this, I have come to the realization that the reason why I am not able to move forward in my blog is because I am also a bit stagnate in life.  Mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually, there are things that I must do to move forward.  I have been very hesitant to do those things.

I want my blog to accurately reflect who I am, but I haven’t been willing to be transparent about some aspects of myself.  Now, I am not talking about my family or my relationships, but myself.  Ultimately this blog is about me.  It’s about my adventure as a mother, not about my kids, friends, family, or anything else.  In many ways I have separated different aspects of what I like to do and who I am and moved them away from this blog.  I thought that my readers would not want to read about my cooking or crafting projects.  I thought that it should be separated because this is a “mom blog.”  I really enjoy crafting and blogging, but I wasn’t sure how the two would fit together without driving my readers away.

Well, it’s time to find out.  I will begin to take some new steps to improve my blog in a way that truly reflects who I am as a mother, wife, and woman.  Bear with me, I am no expert…
