(i wrote this january 2014. this was a few weeks before the sinus infection and the darkness i talked about in my post about being known. life was so chaotic, but i am so glad i wrote this down, because it shows me the beauty in my life at that time.)
sometimes i feel like i live in a reality show. i never imagined myself taking care of 3 kids by myself each week. but we are here. my husband's job expects him to spend monday through friday 4 hours away from home.
yes, we are here with baby needing 2 naps, walking and into everything, the cutest thing ever really - getting hurt and never keeping her socks on - loving feeding herself and watching brother and sister. sister is growing up so fast and about to turn 3 next wednesday. occasionally i stop long enough and notice how very smart she is. and the boy in kindergarten and if the baby wakes up before 7:30 we're all heading down the street in the van because it's 32 degrees or below outside and i gotta get the boy on the bus.
and the kids are young. really, there's just one kid. then a toddler and a baby. they are beautiful and smart - they are my full-time job. they need a lot of help. and i am only one person. monday thru friday.
growing up in a Christian environment i often heard phil. 4:13. i can do anything through Christ who gives me strength...
i've only recently realized the other part of that coin. "apart from me you can do nothing" john 15:5.
