3 Things I need to hear...

Through some very random blog "hopping" I just landed on a blog that jumped right back out at me. I thought I'd participate. After all, I am 37 1/2 weeks pregnant and have begun to have, along with loads of positive emotions which I feel inclined to post about soon, some of the moodiness, fear, questions that can arise at this point in pregnancy. I also just spent a good portion of my day as the lone adult with 6 kiddos under 6 (ages 6,5,4,3,3, and almost 1 to be exact). And, I feel like I haven't really connected with my husband in a couple days. So, all that said, I could probably stand to take a moment and ponder 3 things that I need to hear today...

1-"you're not alone...faithful and true forever, My love will carry you" I believe this is Truth about who God is. I have seen it and experienced it myself. Now I just have to believe it for today. and tomorrow. for the little things. and the big.

2-your kids are remarkably forgiving and I WILL fill in the gaps (one of my consistent requests is, "God, fill in the gaps for these kids I love so much-in every area that I am not or can not be all that they need and desire")

3-take your vitamins and go to sleep-this too shall pass. Sometimes I am just not even thinking correctly. I never used to key into this but I am starting to see that sometimes I am not even thinking like myself for one reason or another-exhaustion, unbalanced hormones, etc. I have to turn off my head or at least not get too up tight about my thoughts at the time and tell myself I do not own the thoughts I'm thinking at the time.

ahhh, there, that was nice. There is nothing like a shot of Truth. Thanks, Rachel for the suggestion!
