Why do you keep giving me kids with needs beyond the typical?! I had asked for the little ones that He purposed for me, that needed specifically who He made me to be as a mom but it wasn't what I expected.

How you doin'? We are heading into the last month of the first quarter of the year and some of us may be beating ourselves up about what we haven't gotten done but let me ask you this: have you progressed even if it's just a little?

And don't be afraid to ask yourself the hard questions if need be such as, what is really preventing me from progressing in the way I would like? Part of giving ourselves grace is taking the time to figure out what we truly need to support our efforts toward our desired goals.
