"It feels like I should be better at this by now or that we should have a routine or something, but life keeps changing and pulling the rug out from under our routines in process."
Oh yes, this is true for me too. Trying hard not to berate myself for not being "better at this by now" (after 27 years of marriage and 8 children). Thank God for His grace and mercy!
"In these days that feel so full and uncertain and filled with alarming events and unknown implications, it is such a relief to know (or be reminded, because I forget) that it is not up to me to do everything. It is my job to show up and do my work, and that's it. And (this is what I really need to hear – so listen, self) not everything is my work."
Yes Shannon! This! This is getting printed for this mama of many. My oldest is 35 today-how did that happen? And my youngest is ten :) so I am yet in the midst of doing all the things. AND, not everything is my work! Blessings on you sweet Shannon!

We must be kindred spirits — 27 years of marriage and eight kids here, too. 😁👊🏻

Ahh, thank you so much, Shelly! Happy birthday to your oldest. 🎉 It’s so comforting to know other moms of many with such a spread in ages. 😁🤍
This is so good. Yet so hard to keep showing up when you don’t see results. Like mixing a sourdough starter wondering if it will ever ferment.
Yes. Right there with you. We need grace to see the invisible, too. 🤍
Love the workspace and all the pens…
Thanks!
