Stop putting you children first…// JACQUELINE ELLIOTT #shorts

Before you can serve, before you can be a good mom, before you can be a good wife, before you can be everything else that you're designed to be, you're going to have to put yourself first. I learned through my kids that when I try to make everything perfect, I wasn't serving them. They saw me as mom. They loved me, they wanted. They knew that I was there to help them. And I was always trying to make sure their hair was perfect, their clothes matched, everything was good. We have this mommy guilt. People tell us, hey, you should cook all these meals for your husband. You have their house clean, all these different things that you said. But I realized that I wasn't that example. I wasn't the hero to my daughters. They did not want to be anything like me. They were looking at other people they wanted to be like. So I said, hey, you know what? I am going to take care of myself, and I'm gonna be that example for my daughters to know what a real. I was gonna say a bad word. Sexy one. Well, you'll take that one. Looks like.
