Emotions are going haywire. Physically exhausted. No doubt the hormones are discombobulated somehow too... woke up this morning and found myself preparing to send a silly text to a dear friend who understands motherhood woes and joys. I began to type, sarcastically, Lord, give me strength!
I found myself putting down the phone, bowing my head, and thinking of those words, sans the sarcasm.
Lord, give me strength.
Lord. Give me strength.
Lord. I am tired.
Lord. I am overwhelmed.
Lord. I am sorry.
And, then followed a flood of burdens, concerns, and fragile hopes.
Once they were spoken aloud in the stillness of my early morning kitchen I found something a sarcastic text would not have afforded me~ strength for the tasks before me and peace for my ever roaming soul.
Lord, you are good.
Lord you are mighty.
Lord. Your love sustains me.
Lord, Thank you. In the shadow of your wing I rest this day.
Although they remain unknowns to me, the heart wrenching questions that have weighed me down these past week are at rest now too in the faithful hands of a loving Father. And, the burden is light.
Be with Nan, regardless of the coming days, as you are with me. Extent your wing across the sea to keep and bless that precious baby.......
Amen.
