Why hold tight?

I started this journey after spending a lot of time talking with moms. And while this message was created for them, it can really be for anyone who needs the reminder.

One thing I've learned is that we’re all either perpetually holding tight to something, or needing to. We're often torn between holding tight to those small fleeting moments, and dear life, because we feel like we’re spiraling. And let's not start with how caught up in the hustle we are that we rarely allow ourselves to just contently be in the moment.

I hate to admit that I've spent much of my time raising three kids (8/6/3) in the spiraling position. Despite being in the exact place I waited my whole life to be, I was often overwhelmed, yet still reaching for more, trying to find myself again and rarely content. So I started praying. A lot. And I felt a wake up call in my heart. Something telling me to just slow down. That this is exactly where I am supposed to be right now and I need to trust that this is all part of His plan for my life. That I need to HOLD TIGHT and just be!

Life is still, and will always be full of highs and lows, but I look at them a little differently now. I take time when I'm overwhelmed to remind myself to just breathe and HOLD TIGHT.

And I think we could all use this reminder xox
