I think I got a bit overzealous because while the kids are definitely out for summer, I am still limping along for these last few days of work. To say that my emotional and mental reserves are spent is the understatement of the century. I NEED A BREAK! The challenge is that going straight into 24-7 parenting and refereeing 3 kids who are also grieving and struggling to adjust to this new normal isn't exactly restful. We are all struggling, surviving, and walking with grief in different ways. This makes things very challenging as when each one of us is having a bad grief day varies and sometimes collides with a bang. How we each deal with it differs too, which adds its own dimension of difficulty. Praying God would help us all through these coming weeks and that we would be able to rest, grieve and find new life together.
Behold I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19
One of my all time favorite verses. I love that while our God is consistent and trustworthy, He is not stagnant. He is ever moving and doing new things; things that he desperately wants us to see. Praying for each of you. Love you.
ReplyDeleteI love that, "find new life together". Praying that you all truly will have a restful, life-giving summer together and bonding more and more thru this shared sorrow
