Exhaustion

Good morning and happy Saturday! I hope that you had a good week this week.

Sorry for the long message today.

Exhaustion has been my theme this week. Dealing with mom being back in the hospital (pneumonia) and having to take care of her dog. Dealing with the stresses of deadlines at work that I know we aren’t going to make. I’m just mentally exhausted.

In this exhaustion I’ve pushed God away. I’ve not put my trust in Him that he will give me the strength I need to get through all of this. My prayer life has suffered. Yes, I’ve read passages of my Bible daily, but I’ve not put in the effort that I should to meditate on them like I know I should.

Though I’ve struggled this week in multiple areas, God has blessed me with a new day. A day to pick myself up, dust the dirt off, bandage any wounds, and trust that He is in control. That He will get me through this. That He is bigger than my issues. That He is bigger than my hurts. That He is bigger than my struggles.

My encouragement for you today is to trust. Trust that no matter what’s going on, big or small, that God is moving in you.

Be blessed today and remember to shine your light.
