As busy moms, there is always something to do and somewhere to be it seems.

We are already wired to be nurturers so we feel a great sense of purpose and pride when we see our work being accomplished.

We also don’t want to let anyone down and we believe we will have greater favor in doing. We have even believed that we could let God down.
