He Enables us

One of my favorite sayings to think about when I have days like today is "When God Calls Us, He Enables Us."  When I think about all I need to accomplish in the next week, or even all the things that might happen to make my life harder, I have to remember He enables me to do all He has called me to do.  There are many days when I get to work, with two kids one with a runny nose and the other one wanting to nurse every hour, and think, there is no way......  how am I going to get anything done while meeting both my kids needs.  I feel an overwhelming responsibility to do as good of a job for the church as someone without kids would do, because if the youth are not being served the best I think they can, then its not fair to them.  As I was rocking one child to sleep and using my foot to bounce the bouncer for the other a little while ago, I was overwhelmed with how God has enabled me to do all that I do.  He has provided a priest who loves my children, and will let John Gary touch everything in sight in his office, and is patient during meetings as I am correcting my 3 year old not to pick up the relic and play with it.  I have 2 co-workers who hold my kids and love on them and help me all the time.  I am so thankful, and couldnt do it without all the people God has given me to Enable me to pull this off. 
I really believe God has called us all to do something remarkable.  I wanted more than anything to be able to stay home with my kids, but I have been given the best of both worlds.  There is nothing remarkable about me, I am ordinary, but only through the strength of Christ and the Blessed Mother will I be able to pull of being a wife and mother, much less get anything else done in the day. 

My funny moment of the week.  A couple of days ago a friend of mines little boy was at my house.  He walked into the nursery (which sometimes get used to pile clean clothes in) and said oh Mrs Liz, dont worry, my mommy has 1000 pieces of clothes to fold too.  haha made my day, and just reminds me that we are all in this together.
