When Life Slows Down...

But that’s just it, friend. Life will always be chaotic.

It really doesn’t ever “slow down”.

It’s Always unpredictable.
Always annoying in some way.
Hard in some way.
Or “out of control” in some way.

Let this be your reminder…

Just because LIFE may be those things doesn’t mean YOU have to be those things or feel those things at all hours of the day.

There is a boundary.
And you have the power to draw the line in the sand and protect the things that really matter to you.

Even through the chaos.

For me personally - that’s always been self-care. Moving my body. And spending at least a few focused minutes with God and fueling my mindset.

We’re approaching two and a half weeks away from home and life has been a little EXTRA crazy. Especially the 2 hour time change.

Little kids up insanely early.
Big kids up super late.
It feels like I have a kid next to me or talking to me or needing something every hour the adults are awake too.

Some days are better than others.

That’s kind of how life goes though, right.
It’s just completely crazy and unpredictable and chaotic in some seasons.

And I’ve had to learn to embrace it.
To just let go.
Let God.
Have faith.
Control what I can.
And roll with it as much as possible.

My best advice? Don’t WAIT for things to slow down. Take the reigns and make a way, today.
