I'm really tired . . . not necessarily physically tired, although that too, but mentally tired. We've gotten through Christmas time around here, New Year's, and now it's back to regular routines, school schedules, starting basketball practice for the boys, planning birthday parties for my oldest and youngest children, celebrating my husband's birthday, and on and on an on. Oh, and that's just my job as mom. My job as an accounting assistant warrants even more busyness . . . end of year closings of records, quarterly tax filing, end of year tax filing, closing out everything from one year and starting books and charts for the next year. When do I have a chance to recover from one thing to get ready for the next? It feels like never. I know part of my dreary outlook is because I haven't been exercising regularly. I always feel better when I take the time to stay physically fit. But when do I have time or energy for that? We don't even have our Christmas tree, ornaments, or all the decorations put away yet! Too tired. Too busy. They may be up until February, maybe March at this rate. I hope I can start to cling to these promises below.
"God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear. Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling." - Psalm 46:1-3 NKJV
God, please be my refuge and strength during this time. Please allow me to let You be my very present help.
