On my kitchen window sill.
If only I could find some sun drops in caplet form, then I might have some energy.
I'm dragging...
And discovering that when one has two active boys the first trimester pregnancy slump does not end at twelve weeks. {Oh, and if you've been trying to call me... I can't find my phone.} Hmmm, maybe I should just take a nap.
These words are a respite to those of us with weary souls and bodies...
He giveth more grace as our burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength as our labors increase;To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials He multiplies peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

Christian,
I will be praying for you. When I was pregnant with MC, my older two were at different stages than your boys are, but it was so very difficult and I remember being so exhausted. In fact, I recall lying on the playroom floor and as far as my eyes could see there were cheerios and bread crumbs smashed in the carpet. They'd eaten them for breakfast and lunch. I remember feeling like it would never end and I'd never feel "normal" again. And God's grace was sufficient and He literally carried me through those days. Hang in there. You are so wise to lean on your loving heavenly Father. I am so thankful that He will meet your every need and that He cares for you. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love,
J
I love that hymn!
There's nothing to do but put yourself to bed with the boys.
And nap with youngest in the afternoon, too!
This, too, will pass. :)
Lovely photo. I know what you mean about energy. While I'm not pregnant and chasing around two boys, though I have in the past, something about the fall and winter months makes me very lethargic.
Oh sweet, sweet grace. Praying for you.
Now. Go take a nap. Better yet, if the Honey is home, get the pj's and head for bed!
Sending you e-love tonight.
Fa...a long, long way to run.
I remember that feeling oh-so-well, when I was pregnant with my third. I lived to tell you, this too shall pass.
Good thoughts coming your way from Willow Manor. :^)
Oh dear friend....I have totally missed your announcement of being pregnant! Congratulations LATE!!!
Will definitely be praying for you!
Have a restful weekend!
I literally fell asleep while sitting and talking to my mother and sister while pregnant with my third. It will pass. After the fourth was born, I slept on the couch from March to September while the children played in the living room. It passed too.
Hope you feel more like yourself soon.
