Questions to ponder....

“it isn’t that hard to know what you want to do with your life. the hard part is knowing what you want to give up, in order to do what you really want. “

i borrowed this quote from a friends blog, because it is so true for me in this stage in my life. Before kids i would have never thought this, i thought i could do it all and subsequently got little sleep trying to. But as a mother, there is only so much you can do for yourself in a day and sometimes nothing at all. As the years roll on its been harder to grasp a hold of what i do want to do with my life, my time and this quote tells me why. because when it comes down to it, i dont want to give up being the best mother i can be to my children, and that requires sacrifice. So the question becomes which sacrifices are for the good of our family as a whole and which do i need to let go of in order to reach for something that matters in eternity. questions to ponder....
