How Will I Keep Up With Three Kids?

I’m going to be honest here: I sometimes wonder if I’m going to be over my head with three kids.

I’m currently expecting number three, and there’s days I look around at my house or my kids push my buttons and I think, “How can I possibly do this with another one?” (I mean look at the amount of laundry I already have with just two kids!) 

There are days I feel like a failure as a mom, for sure. And the thought of having another little human in the mix, it makes me question my ability as a mom.

I Can’t. Keep. Up.

These kids already outnumber me, but how am I going to handle taking care of a newborn when I have two other ones who are making a mess everywhere I turn or fighting with each other CONSTANTLY.

Every mom has doubts on their capabilities and their job as a mom. I know it’s normal. And although there are days where my patience is thin and I want to lock myself up in my bedroom, I’d never trade these kids for anything in the world. 

So, while I doubt myself (a lot), I know I can do this. 

Why?

Because I’m a mama who clings to Jesus. Every. Day. 

Because I can do it all with God’s strength and the power of the Holy Spirit within me. 

Because I was never meant to do any of this alone. This life. Motherhood. None of it. Zilch. 

I’m a mama with Jesus, and I know He’ll be right there through all of the tantrums, chaos, and messy house. 

So I got this.
