All my life my life goal has been to be a super
woman. Totally organized, super executive at work, now that i’m married
i want to manage the home well, cook well, clean well, plus be super
wife to James n super mom to my kids.

But more and more i realise that as long as my life goal is that, i
will never be able to fully focus on my Super God coz i’m always
focusing on how to become super woman.

So i give up.

I give up my super ideas to get it all right and together. The
temptation is to look at other women and think wow she’s got her home
business going plus raising 4 beautiful smart kids plus she’s
volunteering at this and that commitee or that auntie who told me on
Sunday that she didn’t have a confinement maid during the confinement
period but she cooked for herself, look after 3 kids all by herself,
and that pastor’s wife who is amazing at running the household etc….
and think i need to model my life after them and live my life like
that. Talk about super pressure!

Heh but i’m not gonna be stupid and try to get it all right. I give up.

I’m changing my life goal to fix my eyes on my Super God and let Him do
the super things and i’ll just enjoy. Like just giving thanks that my
super mum-in-law cooked and brought over all the yummy cooked food
frozen in tupperware so that i don’t have to cook, just defrost! That
is amazing. At first i felt like such a failure that i needed to depend
on mum-in-law to cook for me but then i realised she loves me and wants
to help me.

So Lord please teach me to depend on you and the people around me.
But give me the heart to learn as you teach me.

Your grace is sufficient for me
Your strength is made perfect when i am weak
And all that i cling to I lay at your feet
Your grace is sufficient for me

I’m no longer striving to merit your love
I rest in your promise to me
That all of my sins have been washed in your blood
Your mercy is all that i need.
