I have always been proud on how I was able to get around the
house, serve Bryan, take care of Risen, do rakets and handle ministry
opportunities with a smile on my face. I
have to be honest that it was easy to juggle all this because we had support
from our kasambahay. However, the past
few days I had the same goal, only this time without help.
It is Mother’s day today and we are officially with no
kasambahay for almost a week now. I
really thought my world would end without her, but surprisingly, it gets better
each day. I know that the days ahead may
not be easy as they were, but to be honest, I am getting the hang of it (or is
this too early to say? haha).
How am I coping? I
decided to take one step at a time. My
morning starts with sending Bryan off, then devotions then Risen. Then, when I have spare time in between Risen,
I clean up, do the laundry (Praise God for automatic washing machines!!), and
then the other errands. Our house is
definitely messier and plates are often left in the sink, but that should be
okay. That is just really okay (yes, I am still convincing myself on this
area hihi).
Today, as I gaze around our tiny home and read the heartwarming
mother’s day greetings, I can’t help but thank God for once again raising the
bar of His expectations from me. I am a wife and a mom…a legit stay-at-home wife and mom. I miss
working full time, the help we used to get, but I am grateful God initiated to
take all this from me. In all honesty,
if these two will be offered, I would decline (PS we had the best kasambahay
and it was hard to let her go).
Why? Because I have found my
calling in serving my boys intentionally.
My heart has found peace in what I do now. I would not trade it for anything!!
Definitely tough times ahead but I am assured because God is
with me all the way!
