As a new mom who was up all night with a teething baby, it’s almost as if God himself dropped this off in my inbox this morning. Sending this to all the mothers I know. Thank you for your comforting and wise words, Danielle πŸ’—.

Beautifully said! You can say that about motherhood, and you can say that about anything anyone does for a living or their life. I am an administrative assistant, and when I answer the phone and aren't able to assist with a particular question, I sometimes say......but then catch myself, I AM the admin., instead of I'm just the admin., I can transfer to so and so. My sister alerted me to this years ago. People say I am just a caregiver, or I just work at the front desk, or I just work at Wendy's. Thanks for the uplifting words of encouragement. Have a blessed day!

So true Nancy! Years ago, I decided to break the habit of using the word "just." It's astonishing how often we diminish ourselves.

It makes me sad that you were introduced that way. A mother of eight who can do all that you do is amazing. You let God work.
