the winn fam

this week was difficult. runny noses and lingering coughs kept me and the boys home bound all week. literally. I mean, I didn't physically step a foot out of the house, except to get the newspaper, for six days straight.

these days are difficult. Josh is the master of destruction. From the moment he wakes to the moment he sleeps. messes are never ending, postponing so many projects I want/need to do. so many days end feeling incomplete and failed. these are difficult days.

I even feel guilt at mentioning these challenges. like it means I'm ungrateful or that I don't love my family enough if I say its hard.

I do love them. and I love Jesus and I need his help.

at times when I think "I can't do this! I'm so OVERWHELMED!" He says "yup. apart from me you can do nada. but you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength." Jesus humbles me more. He gives me more strength in his word and more power in prayer. He supplies my hubby and we learn through my tears. and He blesses me with many friends to cheer me on.

and I guess that's the point of this post. mommy life isn't just a highlight reel of blissful Facebook status updates. it's frustrating, challenging, mundane, discouraging and overwhelming too (a lot of the time). if you're in difficult days too, you aren't alone.

taking it one day at a time over here.
