New Strength

New Strength
Isaiah 40:31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

This is one of my favorite Christian songs. And this morning (a new day and a new beginning for me in many ways) it was a great reminder that I need to put my trust in the Lord. Lately I have been feeling tired, battered, run down, exhausted almost.  There is so much that needs to be done in a household with a working mom, a working dad who is going to school, and two small children. The housework seems never ending, the laundry is piled high and the toys are scattered everywhere. But that does not mean that I have an excuse to not be in the Word, to not seek the Lord. I know if I seek him first everything else will fall into place. BUT I need to constantly remind myself of this. I need to remember to cherish the messy house, the tiny fingerprints, the spit up clothes, the need from my Stella to be held and how Airlie likes to rest her feet on me when she sits next to me because some day they won't want to sit on my lap or be held and that will be a sad day. Starting today I need to make better choices and use my time more wisely. Thank you God for this day. For a new day, for a beginning to the week, for the sunshine, for the wonderful Mother's day I had yesterday and for blessing me with two beautiful, sweet girls to be a mom to and a wonderful man to share this life with. I am so grateful.
