The Best I Can Do

I find myself continually bumping up against the limitations of myself & my family—the sheer number of us, the different struggles & needs of the kids, the busyness of life & work, and (hardest of all) my personal weaknesses & failures.

I want to do it all, and I want to do it well. But I can’t.

I’ve had to learn to be ok with sacrificing “the best” for “the best I can do right now.”

Being ok with “the best I can do” is actually a way that I live by faith. My sight tells me that I need to do everything and do it perfectly, or my people will suffer. But my faith leads me to surrender to Him and focus on faithfulness rather than “the best.”

It’s a way of glorying in my weakness, living in humility, and entrusting myself & my family to the One who is carrying us and filling in the gaps.
