Exhausted Moms

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 40:29-31

This post has a lot of practical things for many moms who tend to overdo themselves.  I find that I am more of a procrastinator than an over doer.  :)  I usually find that a list helps me feel the need to get things done.  I am not one of those who keeps a list everyday or even every week but when I feel that I am getting behind or not get what I need done I will sit down and write a list.   This does give me a sense of accomplishment too. 

I do love the part of this post about how how the negative mind can cause you to be tired.   I have struggled with this over the past few months.  We are having to discern some ethical issues for our family and our company.  This has really put me into a "negative" mind set over some decisions being made.  I feel tired and burned out.  I can control how I choose to react to these decisions and this will effect how tired I become from these. 

EXERCISE!

This is really a good one for me.  I love the feeling I get after I have been exercising for a few weeks. At the end of a long walk or workout I get that burst of energy!  Not sure why I am not committed to working out more faithfully.  Maybe it is just getting to that "burst of energy point.

This weekend...think positive...dwell on scripture and begin exercising!
