Motherhood

As a mom I find it hard to create time for myself. I get caught up in the day to day duties, working, wife, kids, dinner, ministry, home, etc. I forget or even feel bad for taking time for myself. Even when my husband takes the kids and tells me to take my time when shopping...I feel bad for being away and not taking care of things at home.

A few months back I found myself depressed and not fun to be around. I was not happy and so miserable! I was hating life and I felt like the only thing that was only holding me together was Jesus and my family. I felt like I was going to break into a million pieces any moment! Then one thing that hit me, I was not taking time for myself and my hobbies. Our pastor told us that hobbies are important to have, so I really started to think about what mine were and it was really hard. I had forgotten what mine were because I had spent so many years not really doing anything except for getting by.

And that is how this site came into play. I realized that I had stopped creating things, I had stopped using the imagination that God had given me to be creative and free. So now, a few times a week I try to make a point out of my crazy schedule to make something!! I am a lot happier and more of myself. Free!
