my refuge is in God.

He alone is my rock and my salvation
My stronghold; I will not be shaken.
On God, my salvation and my glory rest.
The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Psalm 62:6-7

This week has been a little crazy. We're really starting to work with Henry and trying to get him sleep thru the night, it is time to start this process. Long story short: Joel and I are exhausted. We've both felt like we're running on empty this week.

Yesterday morning as the kids and I got ready for bible study, I felt like maybe we should just surrender and stay home, mainly so I could sulk in self-pity of being tired, crabby and unprepared to study the bible. As we left our house 15 minutes late I felt defeated and even more so when I spilt coffee all the way down my white t-shirt.

I realized then, that it wasn't my own weariness dragging me down but, satan himself. He would not trump the awesome fellowship time I have with other god-fearing women and he would not trump Norah's time playing in the nursery! And, with two fist pumps out the window, WE WERE GOING TO BIBLE STUDY!

The rest of the day was amazing! At the end of the day I had a very familiar epiphany; I NEED to draw my strength from God. I need to trust that he will get me thru the hard days; he will give me the energy and patience to raise the two beautiful babies he blessed us with. He will mold me into the daughter he created me to be, if I let Him.

I hope you all have a great weekend! We hope to have a very low-key, relaxing couple days--- and that never sounded so good!
