I didn't want to get out of bed this week. Here's what happened. [Episode 383]
Description
I don’t know if you’ve ever had a week like this, but I really didn’t want to get out of bed this week.
Between waking up multiple times a night with a two-month-old, homeschooling five kids, and doing most bedtimes solo, I’m just tired. My husband works long days and is gone many evenings, and right now, this season is stretching me more than ever before. My capacity is growing, but so is the fatigue.
And honestly? This week, I didn’t want to do it.
But even in those hard weeks, I’ve learned there is a deeper reason I keep showing up.
It comes back to the vision I’ve created for my life. The one that reminds me who I want to be and what really matters, even when I don’t feel like it.
In this episode, I’ll share:
-
What to do when motivation runs out
-
How to keep showing up when life feels heavy
-
The surprising shift that helped me find peace in our home
-
What God taught me about strength in stretching seasons
It’s not about pushing harder or pretending everything’s fine. It’s about learning to walk with God through the weight of it — to see how even in the exhaustion, He’s helping us grow stronger, steadier, and more grounded in what truly matters.
