A Growing Up Mother

I have big ideas.  Lately I am realizing what my big ideas are doing to my little family.  I want to be a stay at home mom...not a distracted at home mom.  A couple days ago I decided to let go of one of my biggest ideas: Happy Tail Acres  I made a list of pros and cons and am now finding homes for each and every "idea."   It's hard to grow up sometimes.  I need more time for the precious little feet pitter pattering around our home.  I am new to this motherhood life but not new enough to realize it's going to take sacrifice and intense dedication to be good at what I do.  I love them too much to be distracted.  Lord, please help me to take what you have blessed me with seriously.  I pray that the Lord shows me that it is okay to let my big ideas rest simply in my family for the time being.
