Grace

It’s 8:30 pm. All the kids are in bed and that’s where I need to be.  Because the baby will be up soon and several times through the night.  I feel as though I am just trying to keep my head above water right now as a mother and wife.  I have done something to hurt my back, so now on top of my sleep deprivation and attempts to lose weight and every other area of my life that I feel need to be “improved” I am dealing with this back pain that isn’t getting better fast enough to suit me. I heard a song recently that has one tremendous line. I just keep telling it to myself over and over.

“In the loneliest places, when I can’t remember what GRACE is…tell me, once again, who I am to You…”

I need His grace.  I am so glad it’s always there for me.

Thank you

It’s been a long day.  A hard day.  I know we all have them. I just feel like I have had them more often lately.  For some reason, my postpartum insanity waits until my babies are around 4 months old to hit me.  And then, there is a lack of sunshine.  So I’m writing a note to myself today.
Dear Self,
Please remember that this is just a season.  A season where your 5 children are under 8 years old and also a season of rainy, winter days.  This too shall pass…so count your blessings! Be thankful.
Sincerely,
Me

Katie before her AHG meeting

That smile lights up my life.  The best part of my day today was playing “Guess Who” with my little girl.  Sometimes I get too busy with chores or the younger boys to take time for Katie.  She doesn’t ask for too much from me, she wanted to help me in the kitchen tonight and then play a game.  I cherish the years where she looks at me with admiration and doesn’t think I’m a big dork (even when I am acting like one).  We have a favorite song right now that we love to sing.  Even when my little Grubb worms are screaming and crying and fussing and fighting and whining…we can turn this song up and it turns our mood around!
