Everything has felt so overwhelming because I had to do it alone. I wanted to be a good mommy, but I also strive to be a good employee. I'm trying desperately to not miss work, but I keep missing a lot. I thought hard about it yesterday and realized that I can succeed at the most important part...being a mommy, and then just do what I can as an employee. I'm so thankful for an understanding employer! I'm at work whenever I possibly can be, but my sick little ones have to come first!
Yesterday's verse of the day on Biblegateway.com was Romans 12:12..."Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." I really tried to focus on the "patient in affliction" part yesterday and held onto prayer to get me through it. I thought about how affliction really does make me more faithful in prayer. When I think about the ocean, I think about the faithfulness of the waves, and it reminds me of God's faithfulness. He never leaves me, even in the affliction. And I'm never truly alone because He is always surrounding me, just like the water surrounds me in the ocean. My prayer is that I can be joyful in the hope that I have in God, patient in any hardship that comes my way in this world, and faithful in praying to the God of my salvation.
