Can't Quit Now
Yesterday was just one of those days. When my husband got home from work, I went to him in tears. What's wrong? I quit. You can't quit. What can I do to help you? Help me pack. A sick baby, a 10 year old who has been making some nutty decisions, and a new four legged friend equal a tough day. A few days ago someone said to me, "I don't know how you do it all." Are you kidding me? Do it all? Have you seen my house lately? Have you heard about my many unfinished projects? I don't do it all. Some days I barely get the kids fed. I am not Superwoman, people. I'm not Supermom either. I am a 25 year old girl who has no idea how to be a mother. I jumped into motherhood with both feet, with an 8 year old who I had never met, and haven't had a chance to look back. Even with all this, we are being called to more children. MORE???? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? I am reminded that His grace is sufficient for me. His power is made perfect in my weakness. I have lots of weakness. So I don't pack. I got up this morning, believing for a better day, thankful for a do over. May His grace be sufficient for you today.

I think you are amazing for everything you do! And you don't need to be supermom just Jennifer =-) And does anyone REALLY know how to be a mother??
These precious little suckers don't come with instruction manuals! :)
Hang in there...joy comes in the morning. In few days when the kids are healthy and everything is going like it should...you'll realize it wasn't so bad. (At least that's the way it feels for me...days after the bad one, of course!)
Jenn, you are an amazing mother. I really do admire you for your faith to just jump right into what God placed on your heart. Who cares if the house is messy. Your children know their Lord and Savior and see Him lived out everyday through you, the woman God entrusted them with.
