I am not sure how I came across your blog (maybe via moneysavingmom...?)The scripture you shared caught my eye because it is my scripture for this year. I am a homeschooling mom of kids ages 7,6,6,5,&5. So I am in need of the grace of God! But I am not always content in my weaknesses. I just don't like to be weak, but it's His kindness to show me my weakness so I can learn to depend on Him. And when I fail, I remember He has lived a perfect life for me! Thanks for the encouraging blog.

Oh the words ring so true in my heart. Just this past Sunday, just getting the 3 kids on my own to service on time was full of anxiety and frustration. And all through worship and the sermon, my mind was way far from God. But when we sang the last song: "...and all that I am, I lay at the feet of the wonderful Saviour who loves me....." I felt this huge burden of pent up angst lifted off my heart. Yes, praise God that He is enough when we are not. Thanks.

Hi, I'm Kelli and new to your blog (love it). This post is very powerful and I'm sure that it hits home for a lot of us. I need to write that verse down and post it...well everywhere! Thanks for sharing.

Amen! I cling to this verse! Admittedly, it's kind of nice to hear you say it, though. I often think when I read your blog, "How does she get it all done!" It's nice to know you're human just like the rest of us!:) Thank you for showing us your weaknesses, too. I'll be praying for you.

oh my. This is the second post I've read on the blogs with this similar focus. It's something I've been struggling with recently. And perhaps, this is God giving me a nudge, reminding me I'm His. Reminding me, no matter how much I schedule or not, or what we get accomplished in a day or not. I still need to cast my cares on Him who is faithful. I often get overwhelmed with the amount of noise the children produce. lol. That sounds horrible, but they talk louder and louder as they try to get their little voice heard. And I struggle with patience here. I just want everyone to talk in a normal voice! Let's be civilized here! :D Notice how many "I" 's there were there. *sigh* A reminder for me -- leave it at His feet. He'll carry it. Not I. Thank you

Thank you for posting this. I needed to hear this today. I have been struggling with my extreme perfectionism lately a lot. I have been finding it so frustrating to want to do so much and not be able to. Its humbling though. Thank you for being honest and open about this.

You know I just don't think we can be reminded of this enough. Thank you for the scripture, I will reflect on those today.

Blessings my friend,
Laura

wonderful post that I totally resonate with. I wrote a similar post right around Christmas time as I was feeling the pressures:
