I just heard you on the Crystal Paine show and wanted to check out your blog as a fellow stay at home mom and wife of a husband in ministry. The first post I read by you was this one and although it is an oldie it hit me square in the heart as just this week I had fallen into the comparison trap. It instantly produced anxiety in me as I wondered if I was enough, was what I do enough, and in the end would it all BE enough. I shared these thoughts with my husband and what he said to me was incredibly simple and yet profound. He reminded me in life I was always going to mess up, mess up in relationships, mess up in raising our kids, etc, BUT I was also going to do A LOT right, and in the end I am doing the best I know how and am applying all that I am learning along the way. It was very encouraging and a great reminder. So he said it in other words but in the same context as you put it.. gratitude. I am so thankful for my life, my husband, my kids, my home. It’s everything I had ever dreamed of and more. I will always aspire to grow, to learn, to do better, but at the end of the day I am good enough. There is always something so encouraging to know someone has felt and thought the same way, thank you for sharing!
