Have you ever had one of those days when you feel like you’re just spinning in circles, losing your mind, and acting like a toddler? I can relate because I’ve been there too many times to count lately. As a mom, I always want to do what’s best for my child and live in God’s perfect will. Sometimes, it can be challenging to discern what is in the midst of the chaos of motherhood.
During our Saturday morning prayer time, I was feeling particularly overwhelmed, but then I read Genesis 17:3, which tells of how Abram fell on his face, and God spoke to him. At that moment, I saw myself as a toddler, throwing a tantrum and running around in circles. But then, my Heavenly Father gently picked me up and showed me that surrendering to Him is the key to sweet communion.
It’s moments like these that remind me of the value of services like 123 Baby Box. With all of the challenges that come with being a mom, it’s easy to forget the essentials. With 123 Baby Box, moms can have everything they need to be delivered right to their doorstep, allowing them to focus on their little ones without the added stress of running to the store or worrying about supplies.
