'Do I still want to do this work? Do I want to keep showing up? Do I want to continue to stretch myself beyond this capacity and these limits? Am I capable?'
Yes, I've been thinking about this for awhile now, but the Lord keeps on encouraging me to keep going. I'm grateful for grace though as I navigate this dance between motherhood and work.
This is encouraging because many times I do want to give up on the work. Motherhood takes a lot from me but like you said God keeps encouraging me to keep going…so I keep going. I pray He continues to give you grace and strength for what He has called you to do.
Motherhood is literally the most challenging and exhausting thing I've ever done. Although working and showing up in other capacities feels impossible at times, I'm choosing to believe that the Lord will honor our faithfulness in this season. "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up." - Galatians 6:4 💛
Are you capable? Or is the Lord capable? He is. You’re doing good work. Don’t be afraid to say no to something knowing with security that the Lord loves to give abundantly.
That’s so true. I’ve still been figuring out this dance between work and motherhood. It’s definitely not easy. But like you said, remembering that the Lord is capable makes all the more difference along with saying no when needed.

Such thought-filled questions, Janelle ...

It's definitely a dance! You're doing great.
