This and That

It's Friday night and I don't think I can properly describe how tired I am. Tired! So, excuse this post, but it's going to be completely random. Here's just a few things on my mind tonight...

**Yesterday seemed like the longest day of my life. No real reason other than the fact it had been a long week and Eric left before we were awake. He worked out of town yesterday and then had an event with the youth, so we didn't see him at all. After cleaning, cooking, laundry, taking girls to gymnastics, doing homework, bathing and putting girls to bed, I wasn't sure I could make it to the bed myself. In fact, I walked into my closet to change into my pajamas, looked at the closet floor and decided to lie down right there. I was only asleep for a few minutes, I think, but I don't think I've ever done that before. Weird.

**I had such a blessing on Sunday. Just before church service started, Elaine and her husband brought me their sweet baby to hold. Oh, the cuteness! Go ahead and click over and see. Precious! (You can also read her previous posts and see the journey God had for her). I couldn't help but cry. God is so good. Elaine and her husband tried for so many years to have a child, were told it would never happen naturally and then GOD said otherwise. I love stories like that because they remind me of my own. I'm so thankful she allowed me to hold her precious newborn son because thinking about that all week reminded me of all of you waiting to tell a similar story. Hang on! The Most High God knows exactly where you are. He has NOT forgotten your desires to hold a baby in your arms. Praying and believing ....

**E hasn't been herself lately. Aside from being sick, she has been so quiet. Man, I can't tell you what that does to a mother's heart - perhaps, you know already. I just keep whispering to God daily, "You're going to tell me what this is about, aren't you?" I'm praying we can have some time together with just the two of us so she'll share what's on her heart with me.

Have a great night! I'm off to bed and praying my girls appreciate what it means to 'sleep in' in the morning. Oh, please Lord.
