Man my list could go on for why last week was not the best week of my families life. There was no big event that tipped the scale, no major downer to pinpoint, but the week dragged on with endless issues that needed to be solved and little problems that piled up to a very tired wife and mama!
Work lately has been a very difficult place to be. Our hospital is going through some major changes and it's trickled down to make some very on edge nurses. **they are never fun to be around when on edge**
Our church is growing by leaps and bounds **PRAISE GOD** but that's made for some stressful things to deal with in our family. (mainly time to do it all)
Whenever life feels like it's sucking me into a tunnel i can't get out i always do a couple days of "why me". Well this time is no different...
Why is my life so busy..
Why don't i have more friends who know the real me..
Why hasn't anyone called to ask "how are you"..
Why does my almost 4 year old still whine ALL the time..
Why do i let myself get so stressed out...
Why why why...
Usually when i get this way, there is only one reason for these thoughts. I've been ignoring my bible and my quiet time with the Lord.
Yup..
That's it again! My bible has basically sat untouched for 2 straight weeks as my life has sucked me into a tube of self disappointment, unanswered prayers, thoughts of "i'm not good enough", and i've traveled down this tube unable to stop the flow!
Well since i've recognized that today i cracked my bible and got some Good 'ol friend time with the one who knows me the best! My friend Jesus who's greater than any friend i'll ever feel the need for, and already knows all my desires and failures and loves me the same.
Do you ever feel like you're being sucked into life and can't stop? I encourage you to take a time out and sit and soak in all the promises that are in God's Word.
Nothing feels better than to sit and soak in all the promises that the Father has for you!
My Favorite Psalm was in my reading plan today.
Psalm 34:1-8
I will praise the Lord at all times
i will constantly speak his praises
I will boast only in the Lord
let all who are helpless take heart.
Come let us tell of the Lord's greatness;
let us exalt his name together.
I prayed to the Lord and he answered me.
he freed me from all my Fears.
Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;
no shadow of shame will darken their faces.
In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;
he saved me from all my troubles;
For the angles of the Lord is a guard;
he surrounds and defends all who fear him.
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
