Mothers daily find themselves going five different directions at once.
While it is part of the job, we intensify the problem by stretching ourselves too thin. Parenting takes more time, energy and patience than most of us humanly have. That is why we need to continually look to God to help us do the best we can. Part of doing our best includes making wise choices about our activities outside the home. Sometimes the hectic schedule that causes burnout comes not from mom's commitments, but the children's.
