And the deadline for audition tapes was that day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right in the middle of a line, adorable 3-old-year-old Audrey runs to the room, interrupting my soliloquy.

But it was the first (and last) time I saw myself do it outside the walls of my own head. I wanted to erase the evidence. Pretend it never happened. But for some reason, I didn\u2019t. That clip still exists somewhere in the vast storage device where our electronic family memories reside. I know I\u2019ll stumble upon it one day. Or perhaps one of my girls will find it.

I didn\u2019t know it then, but I likely had postpartum depression, too. We sold our car to make the budget work, and Justin only carpooled a few days per week. Many times, I had no vehicle to leave the house. Money was so tight. I was isolated and desperately trying to find an outlet to make cash and feel like myself again. The deadline for the audition tape was that day, remember? And I DID get the job&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could give insight.<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was hard for me to be a mom of little ones. I\u2019m highly driven, ultra sensitive, and I need lots of down time to feel my best. I was in over my head, and I had not yet learned the importance of asking for help. It\u2019s not that I didn\u2019t love my babies. Oh, how I have loved them every moment since I learned of their life within me! It was a rough season that I did my best to hide. As a result, the ugly parts spewed out all over the ones I loved the most. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could be honest.<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m a messy miracle, darling. I don\u2019t know why I do the things that I do. I make mistakes. I act out of fear. I screw up&#8230;badly. \u00a0But those mess-ups have taught me so much about love and forgiveness and grace. I never would have known how much I value those gifts, how much freedom they give, if I hadn\u2019t needed them desperately. And I do need them desperately.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if we\u2019re all simply doing the best we can?<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know you can relate to my story.

Your first instinct is probably to defend yourself and place the blame elsewhere. Or do you dismiss and avoid?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about when other people mess up? Do you revel in it? Does it secretly make you feel better to know you\u2019re not alone? Is your first instinct to judge and assume?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a crazy world we live in, and we\u2019re all part of the crazy. It\u2019s not the way it was designed to be, but it\u2019s the way it is. Until Jesus takes us home or returns, you and I will continue to be part of the mess. But we\u2019re also part of the miracle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if the next time you mess up, you choose to confess and ask forgiveness?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if the next time your unmet expectations cause you frustration, you talk about it openly and honestly, without blame?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What if the next time a friend tells you she doesn\u2019t want to get out of bed, you don\u2019t try to fix her.
