Lots of thoughts this morning.
I can’t wait until my children are all better. I want to take them out to enjoy the fall weather. It’s my favorite time of year!
I feel so bad for them as they struggle to keep food in their bellies and yet complain to me that they are hungry.
I am almost ready for baby! Only a few things left on my “to-do” list and I will be calling it good enough.
I am missing being able to help some friends that are/or have moved recently. I want to help them but with sick children I can’t.
I want to do some more freezer cooking but I can’t get out to grocery shop for the needed items so this job has been put on hold.
I am working on getting out fall clothes today. Hopefully I can get to everything I need without help and without too much lifting!
I am looking forward to our annual Hayride with my Dad’s family this Saturday. Praying everyone is well so that we can attend.
I am overcome with God’s grace and peace this morning. I have been (except for a trip uptown for food) in the house with sick children for over a week now. And yet I am holding up amazing well. Yes, I am tired and a little weary of washing bedding and towels and diapers, but I am actually doing well. God’s grace has provided me with a peace that is beyond anything I can even imagine. He has ministered to me through His word, through music, and even through my children. He is filling me up daily and I am waking each morning in awe of His provision in my life. My house is warm, my children, while under the weather, are not chronically ill, I am carrying a healthy baby boy that is quickly approaching full term, and my husband has been blessed with a job he loves and a ministry that God is blessing. He is amazing! I keep waiting for the “bottom to fall out” so to speak and for me to wake up one morning a crying mess ready to climb these walls, but it hasn’t happened. I am determined to focus on God and the peace He is giving and to keep lovin’ my babies until they are well.
I just wanted to share this testimony with you all of what God is doing in my life. Sometimes we don’t speak loud enough of His work and provision for us. And these testimonies can be of great encouragement to others around us if we will only speak of them. I am praying you have a blessed day in our Great God and His Provision!
Love and Prayers,
Amanda
