A heavy heart

Lately, I've felt like such a failure...as a wife, as a mom, as a homemaker. The list could go on, but those are the things I strive to be the best at because they mean so much to me. These feelings arose when I reflected back on past circumstances...like when I should have spoke in a nicer manner to my husband, like when I shouldn't have hollered at Caleb, like when I should have swept the floors instead of putting if off until tomorrow. I know God doesn't want me feeling this way and I'm not a failure in His eyes. I've had this heavy burden on my heart that I just need more of Him and that's been my heart's cry all week. I've been singing this song over and over as my constant prayer and reminder that He's my strength and rock, and with Him, I'm not a failure. He's all I need to succeed at everything He's called me to do. I need You more than anything, Jesus...more of You and less of me.

I Need You More- Lindell Cooley
I need You more
More than yesterday
I need You Lord
More than words can say
I need You more
Than ever before
I need You Lord
I need You Lord

More than the air I breathe
More than the song I sing
More than the next heartbeat
More than anything
And Lord as time goes by
I'll be by Your side
Cause I never want to go back
To my old life
