Transitions

One of the world's best Mommies is probably having a stressful day today. She heads back to work after spending the past few months cuddling her second born son, nursing from sunrise to sunset with breaks to play with her active two year old.

This particular Mommy has a dual vocation as a lawyer, and she's a very good one. With the work she does, she makes her community and our world a better place. I'm sure when her alarm went off this morning (probably when it was still dark outside), she longed for another week (or month) of maternity leave. But she got up, hit the floor running, and likely had a hectic time getting herself and her family out the door.

I'm not worried about this particular Mommy, because I know she's one of those wonder-women who have the capacity, intellect and heart to do all that needs to be done. She may be doubting that this morning, as she sits amidst files, stacks of emails and calls that need to be returned. But I know her, and I know she and her baby are going to get through this day and joyously reunite for more nursing in not-too-many hours.

For this particular Mommy, and for all of us who face transitions, struggles, and challenges today, let us remind ourselves that God is good and that He loves us. Let's remember that He is there for us when we face times of difficulty and stress - turning to Him in a moment of quiet time may be just the answer when the going feels tough.

Don't worry Mommy, I'm praying overtime for you today!
