We are slowly figuring out what life looks like for our family here in Ocean City. We are trying to keep some consistency to our normal lives and schedules but inevitably there are always changes. I’ve realized our kids are hesitant to change like their parents are. New people, new places, new food, new bed, new means of transportation (we walk everywhere here). Just in general there are a lot of new things. I don’t like the settling in process of figuring out where and how to do this and that and the awkward stage of meeting people that you’ll eventually know really well. I wish we could by pass all that and just get right to the comfortable part. Now that we have been here a week the kids are starting to see familiar faces around and are learning how we are going to do things around here. They love the students who are watching them and the new friends they have made. But I think one can only handle so much change and newness in a span of time. We went to church for the first time today and all 3 had meltdowns at one point or another. You could almost just see in their eyes that they were saying “Come on Mom, enough is enough already!” I had to agree. Both Brian and I were feeling the same thing. So if we are experiencing weariness and feeling overwhelmed then I know these 3 little people are. That is one thing I am praying for this summer. Wisdom and discernment on when enough is enough and when we just need to stop and rest. Although I recognize the signs of when this needs to happen the action of actually doing it is hard. So I am asking you, how do you help yourself rest?
