Email subject: If you’re exhausted, read this. Title meme: As a woman, do you ever feel like you wear all the hats... all the time? The friend hat — ensuring coffee dates are on the calendar. The sister hat — making sure all family drama is settled before a get-together. [Amy - as if we have that power over our family0 The mom hat — getting the kids up and out the door while keeping the house in tip-top shape. [Amy - as if it's the woman's job. When I did this, my kids hated me and I hated being the maid.] The wife hat — caring for your husband but double-checking he feels like he still matters. [Amy - for those with a good husband] The Bible study hat — completing all homework in time for Bible study. The teammate hat — supporting, encouraging and empowering your people to do their job. [Amy - "Your people"?] It can be exhausting. But can I let you in on something I’m learning? We were not created to do all things. We also weren’t created to be all things to all people. [Amy - I'm sick of cliches] When we have to take a hat off, it can be defeating. We can find ourselves questioning, Why can’t I get this right? But it’s in this place that we can be reminded of the gospel: Everything we lack is an opportunity for us to find God in our weakness. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says My grace is sufficient for you. There’s grace in humility There’s freedom in humility. There’s peace in humility. So to those of us wearing all the hats, the ones feeling like we can’t be everything to everyone, embrace this truth: We were never meant to. I'd love to invite you to find the relief I'm talking about as we read The Hidden Peace written by my friend, Dr. Joel Muddamalle. It's our July pick for our Circle 31 Book Club, and I would be delighted to read it with you.
