It's been a super rough week around our house. Reece has been sick and sleep has been nonexhistant. Ray and I have been very busy with work on separate evenings. So there has been a lot of single parenting going on. When Reece is awake he has been extremely fussy and clingy. When Reece has slept, I've immediately gone to bed myself because I know it won't be long before we are up again. Needless to say, I have neglected my blog!
Today I am exhausted and at my wits end. It truly was all I could do to get myself ready this morning and go to work. As I think back on this crazy week, I am thankful for all the times God spoke to me through other people. Two precious friends emailed me this morning and touched my heart with their words. My mom called last night just to tell me she was thinking about us and praying for us. Friends at work have been super encouraging and understanding. We've been able to laugh about the trials we've experienced this week. I'm also thankful Regan has been such an easy child this week, considering how difficult her little brother has been! And, of course, I'm thankful we now have a week off! Woohoo!
In every circumstance, there is always something to be thankful for. At one point this week, I was up for 25 hours straight with a sick child that would only allow mommy to touch him. I was thankful God gave me the stamina and patience I needed to get through a extra long work day and then go home and be the mommy Reece needed and wanted throughout the evening and night. There were times, during those long nights this week, that I heard God say, "Kate, it's going to be ok. Keep up the good work. Seek me in your times of weakness." Isn't it amazing that He is ALWAYS there? ALWAYS and FOREVER. Praise be to God!
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
