Let’s be honest, raising kids is amazing, but there are times it feels like you’ve been hit by a train. I’ve been feeling like that a lot lately navigating four kids, and balancing their needs from toddler to teenager. So when I was literally hit by a train yesterday I wasn’t too surprised. In an instant it drove up my hair and wound it tightly into the wheels. As I sat for 30 minutes waiting for my hubby to get home so he could take the train apart to release my hair, I was able to see the humor in the situation. I’d been praying for clarity and peace with some tough parenting decisions this week. I have been stressed and anxious, sleeping poorly, and just more grumpy than I’d like to be. The train was kind of like God was answering by showing me that even when the random, tough moments happen there is always a choice to laugh and smile through it. We can dwell on the tough parts of parenthood (and life in general) or we can embrace them and seek out the joy in the chaos. The pain and trials are short-lived and I’m reminded once again that there is always something beautiful to be found in the messy parts of life.
