Brandi, this is my first time reading your posts. I want to tell you it as far from shallow as you can get. You’ve examined your heart and determined it’s time to go deeper and I believe the Lord will meet you there.

Brandi — for the record, I never thought you 234 shallow. I do remember feeling the way you do when my girls were little.

I love that you’re digging deeper — it’s something we all need to do!

As a mom with an empty nest, I well remember feeling as you do right now. Your own self is lost somewhat in the “daily”. As time goes by, the real you, the changed you, becomes more evident and noticeable. I still long for those days of lostness, because they represent my precious time with my kids. I’m having fun finding myself right now, but it’s really hard. Old friends have moved, and the friends I had from baseball, soccer and school are no longer in my daily life. I believe you are always looking for your true self, as God molds you and you grow in Him. Enjoy your time, and God bless each season of life.

I love this post. So honest and open. Thank you for sharing your heart. It’s what alot of us moms struggle with daily. I feel alot of what you expressed as well. I know I’m smart too and have intelligent thoughts but its hard for me to find the words to talk about them or write about them. So I tend to talk and write on the surface because it’s easier.

So glad you posted this!

So, so wise. I remember, very vividly, feeling this way when my girls were tiny. Or was it last week?

Yes, I’m here to tell you that those time of being “off focus” crop up again and again at different times in life. I’ve come to the decision that God allows it to make sure we don’t ever stop returning to the Soil and digging in a little deeper.

I heart you, sweet Brandi. I surely do.

Great post! You have spoken the words that so many stay at home moms feel. Being a mom is such a wonderful thing, rewarding in so many ways, but it is so all consuming, we can lose ourselves in it. Good for you for digging deeper!
