Mom guilt is that nagging feeling that you are never quite doing enough. You work, and you feel guilty for missing things. You stay home, and you feel guilty about something else. You rest, and you feel guilty for resting. It follows you around all day whispering that everyone else has it figured out.

I always think I have this trust thing with the Lord figured out and am humbly surprised regularly when I discover that I might not trust Him like I thought. The truth is that you can insert any suffering, struggle or hardship you are having and there’s probably always a way to grow, right?

It’s easy for me to get overwhelmed and some days it doesn’t take much. I could list out all of the reasons why my brain tell me that’s justified: chronic illness, medical bills, complex medical care for my daughter, and the fact that my floors didn’t feel perfectly clean when I walked through the house this morning. I really don’t like that feeling! ha!
