Out of Control

I received an email from a mother who said she felt like she was out of control being the mother of three little ones. All mothers feel out of control at one point or another. We wouldn't be human if we didn't. I felt out of control this morning as I looked at my laundry and the mess around me that needed cleaning. Sometimes just the thought of our responsiblities can be overwhelming, which is why it is best to take one task at a time and do what is necessary first. Take a deep breath, relax, and pray the Lord will order your every step. Sometimes I don't know whether to cook, clean, or wash clothes first, so I ask for guidance from my Creator. He knows my capabilities and my limitations and I am powerless without Him! Once I cast my cares on Him, I feel less tension and anxiety. Teaching my children is a huge responsibility within itself and it is done around my housework. Mothers ask me all the time how I do it - I don't! Jesus does it through me. I'm clueless!! I'm out of control until I give Jesus control!
