I had to say to myself the other day, “You forgot who you were”
I know that others can relate to this regardless of where you are in life. As a new mom I found myself consumed with adjusting to being a mom, battling postpartum depression, learning how to manage a household, working full time and so much more.
My primary focus was blurred and I allowed this to consume me. While growing and developing in my new role as a mother is a good thing. It is not alright to allow it to weigh me down.
If you read my previous blog titled “The Perfectionist” you will see how adjusting to being a mother is a challenge for me. The common battle of being perfect always tries to make me feel less than. Perfectionism is my thorn. I can admit it. Check out 2 Corinthians 7-10.
So I echo the thought of “I forgot who I was” I forgot that I don’t have to be perfect because God loves me and he is perfect. I chose to stop trying to do life on my own when I decided to walk in faith. Perfection is my battle but I replaced it. I’m not a perfectionist anymore. I am simply a God pleaser. No matter how much I fall he is still pleased with me and guides me thorough it all.
No matter the thorn in your life don’t forget who you are. God uses those thorns to draw us closer to him. Don’t forget…
