Enough

I watched a movie the other day. 

Moms' Night Out. 

And you know what's? It's really good. There is no way a mother with young children will not be able to relate to it. Watching it taught me something. 

I am enough. 

I'm enough for my daughter. I'm enough for my husband. I'm enough to everyone else. I had never thought I was "enough" to me.

I am enough in God's eyes, so why did I not believe that I was enough in my own eyes? 

I put stupid societal expectations on myself. But those expectations are just that; stupid. 

Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we try to meet unrealistic expectations? They're called "unrealistic" for a reason. We don't control life. God does. If we lean on Him, all that stress we put on ourselves will suddenly be lighter. 

Be you. 

Don't stress over anything and everything. 

Enjoy life. 

Enjoy the small things.

Have fun. 

You only get this life once, so be happy with the mother you are, the life you have, and the time you have with your children.
