(I can't believe I'm sitting down at quarter to 1:00 in the morning to write this.
Dear motivation,
Please come a little sooner next time!
Sincerely, me.)
Do you ever feel like you are running your tail off, trying to get life in order? Not just your own, but everyone affected by your life, like your kids and your spouse, friends, co-workers, and so on and so on...
Today, I felt like a hamster on a wheel. Running and running (figuratively because I haven't been literally running for months!) and running and getting no where. I know I'm not the only one. I just know it! Please tell me I'm not the only one...
All the efforts I put into getting my kids trained to do something simple, such as pick up their socks and put them in the laundry room which is approximately 20 feet from where their dirty socks got deposited in the first place, is just wasted. And reminding my kids not to leave expensive electronics on the floor because, um, duh! And just now, my keyboard stopped working and I had to find a different way to type because I have no ounce of tech savvyness within me. Sometimes I wonder why I even try. It's exhausting!
I'm exhausted: mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Time for a huge, heaping measure of grace.
There's no one in this family who can give me the grace that God can.
I just need to ask Him for it.
So God, when you find me curled up in the corner of my closet, that'd be a good time for that extra measure of grace. It'd be very much appreciated.
All my love,
KC
