Moments for Mums: Not Alone - Part 2Sample

As much as I want to believe that women can "do it all," nearly 15 years of motherhood has taught me that you cannot have a perfectly clean home, work full time, show up to every game or assembly, change every nappy and make every meal all while looking like you stepped off the cover of a magazine. While women can have deep and fulfilling lives, it can’t, nor should it, be done on your own.

Learning this lesson can come at a price, for it means we need to rely on others. Sometimes that vulnerability can make us anxious (can someone else really do it as well as we can?). And yet when we allow others to step into the place that we are holding on to, we often find two things:

1. You have time to give more to what God has made you for.
2. You get to watch someone do what God has made them for.

Question
Where in your life can you allow someone else to step in so that God can use you both for more of what you were created for?

Prayer
Thank You, God, that You didn’t make us all the same. Thank You that there are some who love to cook and others who love numbers. Help us to see who You made us to be, and give us the wisdom to live in that truth. Amen.
