distressed
The video perfectly illustrates the struggle I've been going through. I'm not necessarily doing bad things but I'm still torn away from the presence of God by simply trying to take care of my family.
There never seems to be enough hours in the day. It pains me that I put Him last and MAY BE just may be I give him 10 minutes before I go to bed before I drift off to sleep. My spirit so desires to be with Him.
I've been trying to make this family management work in my own strength and I am failing miserably. I go to church every Sunday. My husband and I host a bible study in our home and I'm involved in a women's bible study group that meets every other week. IN all of that, I am still far away from His presence.
What a shame.
I want to do it all and I can't. Not in my strength. I am so thankful He doesn't give up on me.

A little about me and tiny bit about us
The down and dirty
My name is Candes, I’m 38 years old, married to Todd, 34 years old, for 10 and the mother of two boys, Tucker who is 2 ½ and Carsen who is 2months old. I tend to journal about my stumblings in motherhood and the adventures my sons take me.
Right now I’m trying to get my feet back under me as I re-learn all this newborn/infant stage my Carsen seems to be sailing through. It’s such a different ride than my other son, Tucker. For one thing, Tucker was formula fed and Carsen is breastfed.
At first glance my sons don’t look alike.
