Steady my heart in this bright new year !

2012 ended in a whirlwind.  November and December brought on a 
seemingly never ending flare for C.  Working part-time, homeschooling and managing all the medical needs of our household along with the holidays stretched me fairly thin.

I don't know about you~ maybe it comes with being a mom~ but I'm a people pleaser and I hate to say no if it's going to disappoint someone. But life at the hectic pace it was in these last two months... did not afford me the opportunity to say yes to everything.  The hardest part was telling myself its okay to say no.

Lately I have been feeling stretched super thin... I actually forgot Rachel and Lukes's eye appointment even though they called and reminded me a couple days before..ugh! I am trying to streamline appointments and school schedules just to survive.  In the midst of all my distress at not being good enough at all this mothering stuff God spoke to me and reminded me I need to rest more in Him.  Because I cannot do this on my own and I don't have to... He is right there waiting for me to ask for His help.


"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13
