Joy Equals Strength - Week Nineteen

Hi friends!! Did ya miss me?!

If you were wondering where I was for week eighteen?

Well, last week was insanely busy attending a four day workshop for work. While the workshop was incredibly beneficial, leaving at 7 and coming home at 7:30 or 8 at night wore me out. And with every intention to write my blog, I’m sure you understand the need to take a week off and prioritize some things. Sometimes as working moms, we find ourselves in the stress- feeling like there isn’t a choice to prioritize- we can’t let people down. But the truth is that we can. We can let things go, we can tell friends we can’t make it to parties/ gatherings. And when we can’t, we have to learn to ask for help.

I knew that this week was gonna be a little overwhelming, for both randy and I. So I asked my mom to come and help with the girls while I was away. Sure, it was “only” wake up and bed time. But that extra support was critical for the girls to feel a sense of normalcy. And because my mom is the best, she pitched in cleaned my house! She didn’t have to, but from one mom to another, she took some extra weight off my shoulders.

Over the last several weeks, my heart has been burdened to help get working moms organized and confident in a schedule to ensure that we are meeting our desires to be the best mom and the best employee we can be. To be honest, I fee like mom blogs are mostly directed to stay at home moms. Not that being an at home mom is easy- it’s truly a calling. But in this age of “girl power” it’s really hard to believe that women aren’t more supportive of moms pursuing careers. I mean- maybe they are- but most of what I hear is “do you stay home, or do you HAVE to work?”

And when you explain that you work a high profile job that requires 50-60 hours a week- how could you even possibly be a good mom?! But the truth is that you can. While some of us are called to work exclusively in the home, with our kids, day in and out- some of us are called to work outside the home, continuing to change the dynamic of the workplace for the better. And there is no shame in that.

This blog has been a place for me to help women, of all lifestyles, find that balance, and find joy in what they are called to be.

During my workshop last week, we had a quick session on time. Now, I thought it was going to be a lame session on how to plan and execute all of the things that we have to do. Each morning, we immediately wake up and reach for our phones (it’s my alarm) and check my email, my social media, my texts. And what do I do with that info? I start making to do lists!

I’m barely out of bed, turn the shower on and I already have filled my day with tasks that will never be completely finished. Sure I spend shower time praying, and getting “in the game”- but it’s mostly just me figuring out what problem I’m going to tackle first! And then randy wakes up, the kids wake up, we are out the door and the day just keeps going.

But what if-

What if we began the day focusing on who we were created and desire to be rather than finding our value in the tasks we do. For so many years, I have found myself finding value in the activities that I complete- wow, I sent 100 emails today, and I attended 10 back to back meetings, and I cooked dinner from scratch, and I crocheted a blanket from wool from the sheep in my back yard. Yea okay, I’m exaggerating- but the more I did, the more I felt like I was needed and important.

But instead of finding my worth in those tasks- what if I found my value in being a mom who is present with her family, a wife who actively pursues and is pursued by her husband, and an employee who puts her best foot forward and has ambitions to progress. Can I do all of this while being organized, with a clean house, pursuing God, while being in style?!

Uhhh yea!

We can do this together. Per the usual, I won’t have all of the answers- but I’m ready for working mommas to come together, support each other, and balance together!

What are the areas you need the most balance?

Mother’s Day 2019

This year was my first Mother’s Day as a mom of two! And it was just so special- while I am spoiled by my girls and husband so much during the year, it’s nice to have some extra spoils. Believe it or not, I’m a rather simple momma when it comes to gifts, and randy always does a great job picking surprise gifts!

Tumble Weed Designs

This brand has been on my wish list for a while! Randy stalked my Instagram and found this incredible design! One thing I love about Texas is the wildflower, especially bluebonnets! Super soft and comfy- definitely more to be added to be closet

Callahan Leatherpress

If you know me, I love funky jewelry. And what’s better than funky leather earrings. Made in a small town minutes from my hometown of Abilene, TX, these earrings bring a little extra flair to any outfit. Plus, they are handmade and super lightweight.
