These past two weeks have been especially hard on me. We've had car trouble after car trouble which resulted in many cancelled plans and being apartment bound all week and going days without seeing another adult, aside from Jordan.
I've been struggling with loneliness (who knew being a mom was so lonely!) and discontentedness. Adelaide and Emery have both been teething and have colds and need to be outside but aren't able to in the 110 degree heat. But God is good and I'm learning, well being reminded, of His truths in my life:
1) I do not deserve a running car, a house with a yard, money to pay the bills, dates with my husband, trips to visit my family, or anything else for that matter.
2) He gives good gifts! Beautiful and healthy children, family, AC, love! (these I call 'an extra helping')
3) God will give me more than I can handle. And for that, I am thankful! For it allows me to see my need for my Savior, for His grace and mercy, and not to rely on my own strength but on Him.
4) I am learning more and more about my children and who they are and what their personalities are like every day as I'm forced to come up with creative ways to stay occupied and busy as we fight cabin fever.
I'm excited for how God has been growing me, especially as a mom, and I'm relieved He is still working on me. Even when I only have a couple minutes a day to spend dwelling on Him.
