Ever have one of those weeks?
Yeah, I’m in the middle of one.
It’s just been off…nothing completely horrible, just nothing really going right.
Maelie is sick…it’s just a cold, but I know she doesn’t feel well, and it hurts my heart that I can’t make it better.
The snow is melting.
Yay for warmer temperatures…but with everything so soggy and disgusting AND with no sun, the whole day just feels kind of blah.
Gray, gray, go away!
I feel like I haven’t been the best wife possible this week. I’m learning a lot about humility and extending mercy to my husband, leaving some room for him to be human. (I’m also thinking I need to revisit Micah 6:8 very soon…)
My dogs are driving me crazy. I love them…but sometimes their exuberance at ALL the wrong times (aka: Maelie’s naptime) makes me want to lock them in the bedroom. And Sammy fell through the ice on the river this morning…maybe Tobin can tell that story sometime.
Don’t worry, he’s fine. He just came home very, very WET!
And very, very happy…which is not exactly what we want…that dog has no fear.
Tobin and I are in the process of waiting on something huge. It’s something I want SO badly, and the reality is that there is nothing I can do about it right now. I need to just open up my hands… so please pray for us.
If He wants it for us, it will happen.
God is doing a lot in my heart right now, but I’m having a hard time finding the words to share that…and that scares me.
I’m a writer…and when I can’t find words, it just feels wrong.
I’m also a feeler and it’s easy for the drama queen tendencies to come out more often when my days aren’t bursting with joy.
I also think that feelers have more discouraging days because we have such high expectations for life…so really, there’s nothing wrong with life right now. (Although I could definitely use some more sun!)
A sweet blogger friend posted this passage a few days ago.
It’s one of my favorites, and reading it makes me feel like my Father wrote it just for me.
“But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you.'”
Isaiah 43:1-4a (ESV)
So cool…I love His promises.
I. Am. His.
No matter what.
I’m in that space right along with you Mel! So, He is with you, and me too.
I am blah. I am needing something. Unsure what? I didn’t blog today. I don’t want to spew my ew…..ya know?
My husband and I are waiting too. For something. If the door is opened, He opened it. If the door is closed, He closed it.
My prayers are with you, your family and your mood *smile*
I read a good sentence in my devotional yesterday…….
Sing Hallelujiah in anticipation! Sooooo……..HALLELUJIAH!
