Bad Days, A Good Thing?


YES, YES, YES!!! I can't believe I'm writing this, but it is true. Bad days help me to recognize my own weakness and learn more to rely on God's strength.

God has been so good to me, to remind me once again that I need Him. I am definitely not all-sufficient. Lack of sleep, crazy hormones and three children under the age of three have all been used to remind me of this truth. In fact, I think the theme for the last 10 months of so has been that "HIS strength is made perfect in my weakness." I am learning with increasing frequency that I must embrace this truth. When I do, my faith grows and God is glorified!

When I asked you all to not hold me to my statement that three was easier than two, I meant it. Little did I know that at the 4 week mark, the lack of sleep would catch up with me. Rich helped me to slow down and not try to pick everything back up again as I was trying to do. There are days where I have lots of energy and I thank God for those wonderful times when things actually get done, but also some days when I crash. So I'm thankful to have a husband who keeps me grounded instead of swinging from one extreme to the other. God certainly knew what he was doing when he gave me Rich!
