Perspective


Welcome to 5 Minute Friday:

Today's prompt: Perspective.

It's hard some days to have any type of perspective in the trenches of it all. I try to be the good wife, the good mother, a good prayer, a good employee. Most of my brain is scattered. Pieces of me here and there. 




I'm building my way up .. up where? I haven't a clue. There's always some goal to lose this extra weight, or to get that light fixture up, to look at the stars more, to read more. At the end of the day when the kitchen is still a mess, the floor is sticky and baby is fast asleep, I escape it all and try to find sleep. Oh glorious sleep. I should get more sleep, I should get to bed earlier.


Alas, the next day's confusion beckons as the alarm clock wails.

Will I ever see what matters?
Or will these walls come tumbling down one day?

  2. See here: "At the end of the day when the kitchen is still a mess, the floor is sticky and baby is fast asleep, I escape it all and try to find sleep. Oh glorious sleep. I should get more sleep, I should get to bed earlier." Just plug in my tween for your baby and we are living a paralleled life! Happy Saturday- nice share!

  3. Life can feel like a hamster wheel no doubt...be encouraged! I have been in the same season before but it will pass! Seek God first and the rest will fall into place.

  4. Ohh, I can so relate to you there. Still up when I should be in bed. It does get better though. A lot better.

    2. I forgot to mention, still struggling with clearly defining my goals. If you figure out how that works please let me know!
