Give yourself grace
Last night my daughter kept crying and wanting me to pick her up, but I was in the middle of trying to prepare for the week. I felt myself getting frustrated as I walked around the house looking at each room that I just cleaned up, but was no longer clean. My daughter was crying, I did not have all of our clothes out, the kitchen needed to be cleaned, I needed to shower, clothes needed to be folded and my head was spinning. At that moment I heard the Lord say “Girl go get some rest.” So you know what y’all, I took a shower, I put the kid’s pajamas on and I got in the bed. At that very moment, I said “Okay God I hear you it’s okay for me to rest, it’s okay for my house to not get cleaned every day, it’s okay to be tired.”
So with that being said girl give yourself some grace! If you are a mom with toddlers please give yourself grace and listen if you are a single mom with more than one or even one haha girl come here, come closer…..you get a special kind of grace sent from the heavens. Single mom or married mom God gives us grace. We have to be patient, gentle, and kind to ourselves. I know everyone looks at us as superwomen, but even superheroes get tired. If someone has a problem with your house tell them they can politely go back home or do it themselves. Your house is sacred and you are free to do whatever you please. Now I am not saying to keep your house nasty and never clean up haha Queens are clean. However, it is okay to do one room at a time and save whatever you can’t get to until the next day. Baby listen you do not want to drain yourself and forget that you also need rest. Who is going to take care of those babies if you get sick? Who is going to be there for you? If you are married, you know those husbands can’t run the house like you do okay? So take care of you and remember it’s okay to rest. Do not feel guilty because the palace isn’t a palace if the Queen isn’t well rested and pampered. Spend time with those babies, put that broom down! I have recently been saying “your house can not go to the grave with you.” You spend all day cleaning, cooking, and yelling instead of enjoying every moment with your family. Again, I am not saying do not do all those things but be a prepared woman and start prepping your meals, give yourself a time limit of how much you will spend cleaning, and dedicate time for your family and yourself. In those quiet hours is when you get to know you, in those quiet hours you get to hear from God. So come here again…go get a mirror or flip your phone camera and look at yourself. You are beautiful and the moment you stop taking care of the person you see in the mirror will be the moment you will begin to lose yourself. So do me a favor and give yourself GRACE.
Okay, love you guys muah!!!
