picture me {im}perfectly.not ever enough

i want you to know that 
whenever it's time to think about a 
picture me {im}perfectly post,
i am never stumped about what to write.
never.
ever.


a favorite little park of ours, 
set high above the ocean

this week, i am going to share with you 
that quite often, 
i struggle with self doubt. 


am i doing enough?
am i doing too much?
am i doing the right things?
why can't i do all that needs to be done?
what am i doing wrong?

sometimes i feel like i am never doing 
quite enough for these little people 
that call me mommy.


i second-guess myself constantly.
and when i do that,
i look to myself rather than look to Him.


i get so caught up in everything else...
the to do lists 
(those never, ever ending to do lists),
the chores,
the cleaning up,
the dishes,
the planning,
the life...

that i lose sight of 
His life.
His life that was made a sacrifice 
for mine.


i so easily forget that God has put me here.
right here.
to do this life.
and to live this life.
to really live it.


Rejoice always,
pray continually,
give thanks in all circumstances;
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

1216. great new things
1217. the desire to be more
1218. crossing a lot of things off
of a very small to do list
1219. listening to this mix
1220. doing the same thing today as yesterday
