Mommy needs a time out

wow it has been a long couple weeks and I am exhausted in every part of my life.
  • Spiritually I am being stretched in places that need the exercise but boy am I sore. I know the God has some kind of plan and I am not seeing the next step ahead let alone the path I should take. I have been taking time to read my Bible, but I am finding that sometimes that can be stretching instead of filling. Crazy sounding but think about it, when you are out of shape either a little or a whole lot that first couple workouts are tough and you don't necessarily want to keep going you have to have an end goal insight to work past the sore muscles.
  • Emotionally I feel confused, when your life is spinning and decisions need to be made your emotions have a had time keeping up. I am a baker and love recipes, when it comes to walking in faith God doesn't always give you a recipe or even a list of ingredients. Emotionally I really want a recipe. We as a family have big decisions to make and I can not wrap my feelings around any of it. I emotionally want to shut down and just coast through. Sad but true.
  • Physically I am overwhelmed by all that "needs" to be done. Am a working out, dieting and feel like I am not making progress. That makes for real sore muscles and tired feet. Wow chasing after a preschooler, cleaning, and working can take a toll on every woman and none of us take time to rest. I know I don't. "I can do everything" is my motto.I need to change that motto to God can do everything and I can rest!!
  • Mentally...... with everything said above I think the conclusion is obvious :) 
I need to take a time out when and where is the question....
