On Deployment

People often say that I must be Superwoman to deal with deployment, two kids, and a small business. But I’ll let you in on a secret. I don’t have super powers. I have faith & friends. ⁣

A fellow mama recently reminded me that despite the struggles that life throws at us, God called me to this place of motherhood. ⁣⁣

I’m surviving because He is equipping me with the tools to be exactly who my kids need right now. ⁣⁣

I get told all the time, “I don’t know how you do it,” “ You’re so strong,” “I couldn’t do what you do.”

The truth: It’s not in my own strength. ⁣

My faith keeps me sane & friends keep me human.⁣

Asking for help isn’t something I’m afraid to do anymore. It’s better to ask than to silently suffer. ⁣

I lean on my family, neighbors, San Diego mom friends, Instagram family, my church & online fitness crew.

Thank you to everyone for checking in on me, encouraging me & loving my boys. I can’t imagine getting through this deployment without you all.
