We, on a daily basis, get up, get dressed, get kids fed, get the hubby fed and off to work, get the children ready for school, send them off, or bring them, or even homeschool them. We then get back into the daily routine of fixing lunch and supper, cleaning house, maybe even have a job to go to. And then the next day arrives and you do everything exactly the same, all over again.
I'm not saying any of this is wrong, or if there is a right/wrong way to do things. Nor am I saying that being a stay at home wife and mommy is bad. I don't want you to feel as if I am saying that at all.
You wonder, can I do something different? Is there anything that can be done? Why am I stuck in a rut?
Can I ask you a question? Did you pray? Did you ask God to help you get through the same things you did yesterday, today?
Remember, when you got married, you had all these plans and dreams to do something? Maybe something different than what you are doing now?
Maybe, just maybe, life has a different perspective than we, as humans do.
I mean, seriously, who would've thought 5 years ago, I'd be married now, with 1 child about to start pre-k? Do I regret getting married and having a child so soon? No, I got married, knowing down the road I wanted a child. So soon? No, but life changed and with it, so did I. There were some medical issues going on with a family member and because I wanted that person to meet at least 1 of my children, we went ahead and tried and God blessed us. Do I begrudge it? No, I realize that we all have to grow up sometime and I did the day I chose to get married.
I'm not trying to say you have to give up on your dreams, just that you can still fulfill those dreams if you look at life a little differently.
Here I am, 29 years old, married, with a child about to start school. So, you know what I'm gonna do? Get my hubby off to work. While my child is in school, work on completing my education in the travel field. Grow my Plexus business. Start another education course in Business and try to complete it. Work my job and try to help be the best partner I can be in a new business venture.
You say, "all of that?!" Yes! You can too. Just reflect back on those dreams you had all those years ago and be determined now, more than ever, I'm gonna fulfill my dreams!
YOU CAN DO IT!!!
