Are you weary? It’s no wonder. Today’s moms are busier than ever. We’re signing our kids up for everything from athletics to music and the arts. In truth, most moms I’ve met in recent years are exhausted, worn out women who admit to feeling “guilty” if they don’t provide their children with every imaginable opportunity. These well-meaning moms are running from sun-up to sun-down, often sacrificing their own personal margin and time with the Lord, leaving them weary and disillusioned. We’re just.so.busy.

Why? I wonder: is there more to this busyness than meets the eye? If everything we do carries eternal significance with it, then surely, our Creator must have direction for our everyday decisions. Even when we sign up for soccer.

We are doing holy work, you know.
