Take Care of Yourself

Good morning! MomE Club Family - my morning devotion hit home today and I wanted to share!

The Confident Woman Devotional -365 Daily Inspirations by Joyce Meyer

1 Kings 15:11,13

“Country singer Wynonna Judd knows what can happen when you don’t think about yourself. At seventeen, she had accepted Christ, but the whirlwind years of fame and fortune had created a deep sense of insecurity for her. She felt like she had to take care of everyone. She worked through two pregnancies so she could ensure that the thirty families of her crew would continue to have an income, she ate when she felt empty inside, and she spent enormous amounts of money on her family and friends.

The need to please everyone eventually caught up with her, and in 2004, Wynonna found herself overweight, out of money, guilt-stricken, and close to losing her 525-acre farm. She had to surrender to God and start taking care of herself again. She’s now twenty pounds lighter, she’s cut back excessive spending and she’s learned to say no.

Women in particular want to please people, especially their family, but they need to be very aggressive in standing against getting out of balance in this area.

You must take care of yourself in order to take care of anyone else.

Lord, it’s challenging to know when I need to pull back and restore my own self. Help me to serve and give while staying in balance. Amen!

Moms, Moms 2 Be and Moms In Waiting I hope this message provides encouragement! YOU are AND will always be ENOUGH! Smile through the tears BUT most importantly DO NOT under any circumstance give up on YOU!
