Secret Weapons

You know in those Bond movies they always have secret weapons hidden everywhere.  Gun, knives, and even hidden getaway transportation. Well, I have decided that as a SAHHM I must also have secret weapons.  You know tools I can whip out to keep me sane and get me through the day.  I have 3 secret weapons.....and I am going to list them in order of importance!

1. GOD!  Without Him in my life I would not have the life that I have.  He has blessed me so much and given me the wonderful opportunity to be a SAHHM.  On days when I feel I just can't make it anymore, I remember how great He is to me and that He is the one who called me to do what I am doing and so HE WILL take care of me!  In fact, my other 2 weapons were given to me by HIM! Without Him I would be and have NOTHING!

2. My Husband!  Yes, I have the best husband in the world!  Is he perfect? NO!  But, he is AMAZING!  He is my number one encourager, prayer worrier, and relief!  He is incredible about giving me time away from kids when I need it and doing whatever he can to support me and the calling God has placed on my life. 

3. Medicine!  Most people joke when they talk about being on medicine to survive the chaos, but I am personally thankful that God allowed certain events to play out in my life, and placing people in my life at the right, and for doctors who have been able to create medicine to help those like me, who need a little extra boost.  I used to be ashamed of the fact that I take an anti-depressant, but now I just am thankful that it is available for me to take.  I am a much better person with it and my relationships, including my one with Christ, have grown so much since I have been on it.  The big thing that has changed is my ability to handle stress.  I still get stressed and things still bother me, but I am able deal with them better and in a way that brings Glory to God.
