So, I definitely packed way too much into this week....but, as always, God has provided me with the energy I need to get "life" done. :) I've also lost my temper one too many times, responded too sarcastically to my hubby, acted selfishly when I should be looking for ways to serve my family, and sought sleep yesterday over getting into God's Word. And, thankfully, God has provided enough grace to cover my failures. In my weaknesses, He has shown His power - only He could bring restoration after I cause strife. Only He could forgive and cover me with His grace, so that today, I can look forward and dive right back into His Word.
My great God allowed me to wake up a little earlier than usual this morning and I was able to go running and have some alone time, with my thoughts and talking to Him. And, was able to read another chapter in "Future Grace" when I got back. God was so good to me this morning. It was very sweet to start my day with Him. (I will post about this chapter and the next tomorrow). I needed this calm start to the day, and only my Father in heaven knew what craziness was about to take over my day. MK woke just as I was finishing reading, and she walked out of her room holding her right ribcage, saying "hurt". Something was obviously wrong, as she wanted to be cuddled all morning and didn't want much to eat or drink. The pediatrician's office was able to work us in - and, today was also SJ's 4 month checkup......the end result was MK being diagnosed with Strep and SJ getting a clean bill of health. :) So, I spent the rest of the day getting prescriptions, caring for a sick little girl, and keeping the baby happy and entertained.
Today, (outside of caring for the girls) I spent most of the day in prayer....pleading intercession for one of my good friends whose husband has underwent two serious surgeries in a matter of a week, the second one was an emergency one that took place today. And, all the glory to God, he is stable this evening and hopefully on the road to recovery. I thank God for the scriptures I am reading on anxiety. I was able to confidently go before the Lord and speak His own words, as he has promised to provide all our needs....Phil 4:6 and 4:19 were very appropriate for this time. Praise God, His Word and His Grace are sufficient.
