Day 10-Lighten Up

It's so hard not to get caught up in the "trying to have everything perfect" place, especially when you have kids because it makes things easier right? Well, I will be the first to admit that I'm STILL trying to adjust with having a second baby and it's been over 8 months now.....it's hard! For all of those people that said going from 1 to 2 is hard....well, you are right! It's SO good, but it's a challenge. My daughter put me in my place the other day when I was rushing (again) as I was trying to get out the door with both kids running a tad bit late and could barely squeeze through our condo door with car seat in hand along with the diaper bag, purse, Jada's lunch and her tagging behind while trying to make sure everything was in it's place before we left. Simply put, I was a bit frazzled. Jada said, "Mommy, it's ok, God will help you. He's here to help us because he loves us, just ask him for his help." I stopped instantly in my tracks and looked at her with so much love. Not only because she has ingrained God into her life but because my 4 year old was advising me. It was amazing, but it did make me stop and think, "ok, things don't have to be perfect, just lighten up a bit."
