Stress

At times I seem get stressed over the smallest and weirdest things; for example washing dishes, what are my kids wearing the next day, what am I going to cook tonight?, being too strict or too lenient on my children and deadlines at work.

I have tried several different ways to pick their clothes the day before or even days in advance and one thing or another ends up changing the plan the morning they are supposed to wear that outfit.

You worry if you have enough veggies to cook that night? Or did I forget to defrost the meat? Definitely one of my top three stressful things I deal with on a daily basis.

As a mother I’m always stress about being too strict or too lenient on my kids. It is rough to decide when to draw the line and when to let them slide. I personally think I’m a pretty cool mom but it does make me wonder how more strict I have to get before they become teenagers since it is a tough stage in their life. All I know is that God is by my side and he will help me get past all the rough times and give me wisdom to guide each of my kids.

Last but not least, I stress at being a good...
