I am having one...please pray. I was so tired after feeding boys this morning I slept until 11am and still tired. I cannot find my Jesus Calling devo book or my to-do list. I can understand the to-do list because God may just want me to sit - but my devo book?
I to do some normal things:
1)go buy something but Clay would not approve (which is understandable).
2) go to a nice dinner where the chef understands my limitations.
3) so many other things...
I am sorry to vent but it is one of those days.

Praying for you…for strength & peace & faith and that your frustrations will be alleviated.
ReplyDeletePhilippians 4:6-7 (New International Version)
6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Love You!

ReplyDeleteThere are so many changes you are having to go through and constantly 'good choices' for the sake of your health...your life. I can't imagine what that must feel like...honestly. For those of us who struggle with the need to be 'in control' and yes, sweet thing, you and I are guilty as charged....to feel so 'controlled' by this disease must be so FRUSTRATING! Real friendships are authentic...the good with the bad. No need to apologize for being honest about 'where you're at' today...venting is 100% okay.
Know that there are so many people who love you and want to be there for you...and are willing to accept you 100%..good with the bad. In the end, we're all just humanity. Good with the bad...and we've all got our 'bad'. Surrender. Surrender.Surrender. Give it all to HIM. So cliche sounding, but so required for a life out of bondage...and so freeing.
I'm headed to your house with an extra copy of Jesus Calling. Hope it helps to give you some peace...
Much Love,
April
Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI just heard about your illness and found your blog. I'm so shocked to hear about your illness and am praying for you and your family. I work with patients with liver disease frequently but it stuck me to the core to hear about your illness. I hope you know everyone is pulling for you and I know you have an amazing family and support system in Houston. I only wish I could be there to help in anyway even if it is to carpool your kids somewhere or bring you guys a meal so you can continue to rest. Please don't apologize as April (above) says..you need to get things off your chest so you can recruit all your strength to fight this! I will follow your blog daily and pray for you constantly.

Dawn,
ReplyDeleteGirl, you deserve a day to complain....none of us like to have our "routines" messed with...and yours has been totally changed! By the way, I feel tired mid morning and I don't have a good excuse! With the busy, busy lives we all race around living, sometimes we have a hard time listening when God instructs us "to be still". I love knowing that you are taking the time to be still and quiet....a time to hear God speaking...a time to cherish your spiritual journey. My sister-in-law is a missionary, no family, so at times I have been envious of her ability to have so much time with God without the distractions of a "busy" life.( NOT that I would trade in my life raising 4 kids) But it is amazing how much gets revealed to her during those long quiet times. Though your circumstances are difficult, God always uses those times to have such wonderful communication. We are praying for healing and Gods blessings for you...knowing of course that you are already so blessed!
