The Right words at the Right Time

I’ll be honest, this morning I went home after working all night, knowing that I was going to come back in tonight for another 12 hour shift plus an hour drive each way and I was feeling defeated, tired, weary and overwhelmed. I knew that sleep needed to be my main priority for today, that in order to practice safely at work tonight I needed to sleep, but the Mom in me? I needed to go pay the babysitter, I needed to get groceries, I needed to make a healthy dinner for my kids, I needed to do laundry, I needed to take the dog out and exercise him…… ALL IN THE RAIN!

I was feeling so incredibly defeated and overwhelmed. But God! That’s truly all I can say…. He used His people today to encourage and lift me up and help me get through this day. I am always suprised but I shouldn’t be. He meets me where I am at and gives me what I need to make it through another day. I received several messages today to encourage me, and these people? They had no idea that I needed them today, no idea how sad I was. No idea how I was struggling to be enough…… But my God knew exactly what I needed and sent it to me

See? They reached out without having a clue about what was going on…..
THIS….. When another momma gets you, gets your heart and what you are struggling with, even though they don’t know the specifics of this day…..

I can’t pretend to know or understand what you are going through. I can’t say I have been there and done that. But I can tell you that God’s got you, no matter what. No matter the situation, He knows. Reach out to Him, ask Him to fill and renew you, and then set back and watch Him work.
