As a mom, do you take care of yourself FIRST or at all? Do you find guilt taking over whenever you do anything for yourself?   Maybe out of habit you find yourself thinking that your family needs all the things and THEN you'll think about taking care of yourself!   BUT the truth is, you weren't meant to eat only scraps from your kids plate, run around town as a ball of stress trying to get your kids to every activity, or let anything come before your relationship with the Lord.    Yep, I said it.    Your health, your family and friends, and the Lord NEED you to take care of yourself.    And when you think about it, a healthy family really does have to start with you, momma! Don’t worry though, it’s not as hard as you might be thinking.   Today, I’m sharing a few reasons WHY taking care of yourself has to be your top priority and the top 3 things I recommend starting with.    My prayer is that you are blessed and encouraged with what God wants to do in you and through you as you continue forward in living healthy and empowered for the glory of God!   In Joy, Lauren    P.S.
