Taking Care of ME

Recently, I went on a "family vacation." or what you more accurately would call a "trip" with my family including two toddlers. It was a blessing to get to go where we did, but at the same time, it took me a little while (until the last day), to realize that I needed to not just take care of my kids, but enjoy the trip for me, too. So the last two days, I jumped in the ocean, and prior to leaving for the airport I got a massage. It was magic. I am so grateful that I did that for myself. It made the world of difference on the flight home and for the days to follow. It's wild how just an hour being spent on investing in ourselves can make such a big difference. AND I got to tell my children about all of the fish I saw and show them a sea cucumber. What could be better than that?

Next time you are in a rut, or don't know which direction to go, remember to take care of YOU because you deserve it and you are worth it. God loves you more than you will ever know so honor Him by loving yourself.
