Let us not grow weary

I've been trying to write this post for a while now. Every time I start I erase it or walk away leaving it in draft. The words are not flowing like I'd like. Then again I shouldn't be surprised with the state of my mind and heart. They are all over the place.

Jumbled...

Overwhelmed...

Heavy...

I have been reminded today though that faithfulness to do what is right will pay off in the end. The Lord's Will is coming. We are reminded. We are hearing more and more that the time is near. Where? How? and When? have all yet to be answered, but the still small voice is trying to bring peace to our aching hearts. Our tired minds.

In the hustle and bustle of all of last month we lost a piece of ourselves... of our family. We are feeling drained emotionally and longing for that family dynamic to come back. A moment to breath. Ending the month in the loving arms of a long time friend was certainly the best medicine the Lord could have prescribed for the end of our crazy month. The family bond and love we have been pushing off to run here and there was brought back in those arms. In the laughter and love shared over the weekend. It was just what we had been needing!!

Tomorrow is my husband's day off. It's a day off that we have nothing but one small thing in the morning planned. We have phones calls to make regarding possible future decisions and a couple small errands that won't kill the day if we don't get to them, but more importantly we have time... just the 5 of us... to be together. To laugh, love, and enjoy the day. It seems like so long since that has been able to take place. We are looking forward to it more than words could tell.

The Lord is directing something.

Something big.

We feel it.

We are ready for whatever that may be. Only in HIS timing will he cement all the pieces together for our hearts. He will dry the tears and bring the much needed peace to our souls. Even though I am feeling very defeated and anxious lately I am finding solace in the Lord.

{Not the post I was originally thinking for this subject on my heart but that is the Lord for you. :)}

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." 
Galatians 6:9

I love you. I'm so glad that your hearts were refreshed and renewed - if but briefly. I pray God will bring more refreshment and focus to your whole family and that you will be encouraged with hope. DO love on each other. Lots. You can go through anything if you love on each other. :)
