Her: Troy and I set a goal of blogging three times a week. Lately, life has gotten in the way of documenting life so we resolved to wake up this morning at 6:30 a.m. to produce something creative and exciting for all of you. Last night after settling into bed about 11:00 p.m., I heard my first feverish kiddo crying in her room. I got up, gave her medicine and a glass of chocolate milk, then I tucked her in and headed back to bed. 5:00 a.m. rolled around and the next child wandered feverishly into our bed. 5:25 a.m. - she throws up in our bed. 5:30 a.m. - next child woke up from the sound of the bath delirious and needing encouragement to get back to sleep. 5:45 a.m. - coffee brewing, oatmeal cooking and day begins. 6:25 a.m. – Baby drinks off feverish sister’s sippy cup. 7:30 a.m. - biggest sister gives baby sister a bite off her spoon. I think you can see where the rest of our week is going!
Just when we were feeling too busy we got a sick kiddo curve ball. So I figured today I would share a scripture that has been rattling around in my brain all week:
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
2 Corinthians 12:9
Today I feel weak and overwhelmed. But I am letting that all go. This day will be barren of checklist items completed but I will rest in the Lord. So good morning and good night.
I needed that! Tonight I lost it with my daughter while giving her a bath and wondered HOW I can have the strength NOT to have a volcanic eruption when she incessantly cries when bathing. It's a nightly affair. It's something I can't stand, and I really struggle with an answer on how to absorb the Lord's strengh in order to get through it in peace.
