Oh how I needed this

Motherhood:-An-Eternal-Partnership
Click on this link to watch an amazing clip about motherhood.

Recently I've been struggling with the joys of motherhood. I'm not going to deny it, having three kids ages 3 and under is HARD! It's better now that the kids have space to run and Daddy is home more but it's still very mentally, physically, and emotionally draining! I try very hard to be a good mom and most of the time it's good. But when it's hard, it's HARD. I've struggled with great anxiety since Sarah was born. It had started getting better but now with Daniel working nights again it's becoming worse. Unfortunately it's only at night, when it's quiet and I'm alone, that it gets bad. I've started doing things my doctor suggested, fixing my eating habits, relaxing, exercising, and taking St. John's wart (an herb to help with depression, moodiness, ect.). I'm hoping all of this will help but what helped me most of all tonight as I'm sitting here debating if I dare go to bed or not, was this clip on Motherhood. The greatest thing I can ever know is that I am not alone! I have the Lord by my side to help me. I know He is there! I could not do this with out Him. This is his desire for me, to be a wife and mother. He would not ask me to something without helping me through it.
