Calling all Superwomen!

Calling all superwomen! Got your cape on? Got your to do list? Ok Work, school, church, study, cook, laundry, children's activities, etc... LIFE! Whew!

Even with 24 WHOLE hours in a day we still feel like there is not enough hours in a day. Right? But we have our superwoman capes on and we try to handle it all! We want to be all things to all people, the perfect parent, perfect wife, house spotless, dinner cooked yada yada yada while all the time with a smile on our face and Praise the Lord on our lips. Sound familiar? 

Tired yet? Overwhelmed yet? 

Let me let you in on a little secret. God is not requiring us to be superwoman!! Whew! I said it! You feel better? 

How liberating to know that it's ok to depend on God! Yea I said depend on God. I said that because when we try to do everything and be all things to everyone it's like we're saying God I got this! But NO girlfriend. I need God! I CANT do it all! 

HELPful Hints:

1. Prioritize - what's most important

     A) PRAYER

Prayer is the most important thing on our TO DO list. It's in our prayer closet we find peace and get directions on what we actually need to do. 

2. Organize - 

     A) A place for everything and everything a place! 

This mind set will save you time and energy! When you are busy trying to handle "stuff", just knowing WHERE items are that you need can eliminate so much frustration. 

3. Plan

     A) Grocery day, budget, wash day, etc..

Just a little planning goes a long way.

 

4. Breathe! - 

      A) You can only do what you can do! 

     

5. NO!

      A) Say it out loud. NO. 

See! The world didn't end because you said NO! 

Dont be a people pleaser! This is how our schedules get filled and we get stressed. We as women must learn to say no sometimes. We are talking about NOT BEING A SUPER WOMAN but being that woman of God who is seeking God for the day, finding that place of peace and realizing we need God! And in needing God we understand that we are depending on Him. Depending on Him for guidance. Depending on Him and in our dependence we realize WE CANT DO IT ALL! And it's ok to say NO! With no explanation attached (smile) 

6. Reality Check

     A) House not spotless? It's OK! Really it is

     B) Laundry backed up? It's OK! Really it is

     C) Dont have it all together? It's OK! Really it is!    That means you are right where God wants you! A place where you are depending on Him! He's working on you and He will get the glory! 

      

     

So throw that cape away!
