I’ve never been a very good swimmer. Sure, I can tread water. I can get from point A to point B. But my form is tragic and there is a lot more flailing than effortless breaststrokes.
Lately, I feel like I’m drowning. Mom-life doesn’t allow for drowning, so I’ve had to keep my chin up and keep pushing forward. But most days I just want to sit down and quit. I am just tired. Life really isn’t bad. I have two wonderful healthy children and an ever-so-patient husband. As a family we are just in a season of uncertainty. I told someone that recently and walking away I realized life is just several seasons of uncertainty smashed together. Sure, we may go through seasons of good health, financial stability, healthy relationships, and confidence in our paths or careers. But at the heart of things, we never can be sure of what comes next. Because we just don’t know.
