Hello! Sorry I have been silent for a bit. Life has been very busy and most days I feel like I am drowning in my to-do lists and appointments I have to go to. I’ve been playing more with my babies and trying to declutter my house which is also not an easy task with toddlers.

If you’re a Momma like me, you most likely crave some silence here and there throughout the day. You love your babies and their sweet little voices but you still need time to recharge and be refilled! Have some quiet time with God. I’ve learned that you can fill up your kid with an empty cup. I’m horrible about getting up extra early to spend time with God. I need my sleep because a lot of times I don’t get much of it.

Today I woke up early and got a shower before the kids got up. Last night was the first night in their new room. They usually slept in ours. Both woke up a few times and I ended up sleeping for a bit in a toddler bed with my youngest.

I’ve been feeling so alone and so empty. Drained. Overworked, overtired, and overstimulated. So today I decided I’m going to purposefully set some time to read and pray. It sounds so simple and it is, so I don’t know why I lack a lot in this area.

But, now I feel calm and full. I needed God’s word to fill me up. I craved that word and talking with him.

I read Psalms 86:11 “Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear they name.”

I read a devotional from Lysa Terkeurst and it fit right in with my prayer this morning. I asked God to give me the desire and help me to plan out my day around spending time with him. I asked him to guide my footsteps and give me wisdom as I raise my babies.

I like writing my prayers down. But I also like to pray aloud by myself too.

Find what works for you! Fit that time in and be amazed at what God does for you. Even in 5 minutes!
