Hold On
It had been a rough couple of weeks with me playing the role as housemaid, mommy, wife, butt wiper, laundry service, and ... well, you get the picture. I was about to lose it. Then God heard my whimpering... whoa is me, I know. Being a mom is hard work!
Saturday morning Scott let me sleep in and get ready without interruption! Then we got in the car to run an errand and I asked Kayla to pray for us. She said she would and blessed the socks off me when she read this IN her prayer… “There are troubles all around us but we are not defeated; we don’t know what to do but we do not give up.” (2 Cor. 4:8) I was floored.
Needless to say, I told her how much God loves it when we pray scripture aloud and how proud of her I was. Then I just about cried telling her how much she blessed me by what she’d done. Kayla was my own personal angel that day.
I left that afternoon, got to the beach in time to watch the sunset from my room and see a young buck walk across the grass outside my condo. I spent the night and morning going as slowly as I cared, walked on the beach, saw two more deer, three seals, and felt the heartbeat of God with each crash of the waves. The whole time, whether through music or the bible study I did that morning, God encouraged me to hold on. So I memorized the verse (it’s the kid’s version) and God replenished my soul. God is good and my hubby is the best thing to ever happen to me.
