"In this dark still place, all the anxieties of impending new motherhood come in to smother me. Will I be good enough? Will I keep baby safe? Will I be tense all the time, exasperated, and ashamed of it? These thoughts ensare me in the quiet. At best they’re useless, at worst they’re deceptions."
Deceptions is an excellent way to describe this.
When you take up your cross, don't forget His other promise: "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." -Matthew 11:28
