“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16
Being a mom can be quite wearisome, lonely, and challenging. It seems like the job never ends. Just when one mess is cleaned up, another mess is being made. Just when one child gets over an illness, the next one has caught it. We are pulled from every direction, literally and figuratively.
To be honest, some days I am tempted to quit and to hand in my resignation as a mom. Am I the only one?

I love this passage from the book of Hebrews. It serves as the supreme source of comfort. I tell my oldest that she can lean heavily on Christ because he’s been through it all, as a human like us! And no, you’re not alone. Some days the pink slip creeps into my thoughts too! It’s difficult because we are in the trenches daily and we don’t see the fruits of our labor. But God is so good - just on the 4th, a man made a point to tell my husband and me how well-behaved and sweet our three girls were. He told us we’re doing a good job. These are moments I savor…and moments I know God has put in place for us to witness! Blessings to you for a peaceful weekend!
I love when God sends moments like that! Heavenly whispers that we are on the right path. Blessings!
What a beautiful post, Christina! (I left a comment, but am not seeing it right now…) Love how you always point us to Him. Thank you!
Thanks, Nikki! Just sharing my heart…appreciate your kindness!
I needed this right now. I just walked in from Costco and had my 12 year old get mad because I said I had to empty the car before we went to the pool-I lost it and she is now deep cleaning her room while I get my blood pressure in check.
Do I ever know what you are talking about! Sounds like a typical day at my house:) Hope your blood pressure returns to normal quickly:)
Oh, my friend, you are so not alone in this. I am heading over right now to finish reading the post!
I’m so glad! And thanks for stopping by!
