Superwoman's Freedom Plea - (Poem from Beth Moore)

This summer I signed-up through my church for a bible study group.  I'm excited to take a deeper dive into the bible with some fun ladies I just met.  We're doing a study called "Living Beyond Yourself: Exploring the Fruit of the Spirit" by Beth Moore.  I've heard amazing reviews of this video/bible study and workbook.  I'm already really enjoying it!  There's a poem in the book for us MOMs that I just had to share.  It put a smile on my face and I hope it does on yours too.

Superwoman's Freedom Plea

Oh, Lord, who said there's just One Life to Live?

I'm sure I'm livin' a thousand!

The few times I do awake to pray

All My Children start arousin'!

Uh, oh!  No time for quiet now

Think quick!  The day's beginnin'!

I'll try to recall all Oprah's advice...

Then my head starts spinnin'.

Make those younguns religious, cautious but not suspicious

And watch their self-esteem!

Yet you be professional, look sensational

And keep that house squeaky clean!

And perish the thought you'd forget the needs

Of that marvelous man you married

Why, throw yourself before him when he raises his eyebrows

And quit thinking, I'd rather be buried!"

Oops, now I'm late for work, the kids hate their clothes

And the baby's got a cough

As the World Turns so quickly, I'm severely tempted

To take the next jump off.

Surely they're kiddin', Is there anyone left

Who's honestly Young and Restless

As for me, I feel centuries old, completely worn out

And cellulite infested!

Its gonna take more than Ryan's Hope for this woman to survive.

I cannot abide another deep breath of these Days of our Lives!

Superwoman?  She's a curse.  To fake her is impossible!

And if I try for one more day, I'll wind up in General Hospital!

I've gotta be here, I've gotta be there

I frankly cannot face it.

Rescue me from havoc, please, show me what is basic!

Slow me down, Lord, save this life and keep my eyes on You.

Satan can have this rat race world -

Thank God, I'm just passin' through.
