I stood in church this past Sunday wondering how I was going to make it. I was facing another 7 days on my own. It was only day 1 and I didn’t know what we were going to do the rest of the day let alone the rest of the week. I was already tired, worn down and overwhelmed. Not a great way to start a week of flying with out my partner. Thankfully on Sunday worship was one of the best sets I can remember. Several of my favorites including Mighty to Save. During this song it hit me that the same God who is the Author of Salvation, the Forgiver of all sins, the Conqueror of the grave, the One who can move the mountains and who is mighty to save us all will be with me this week. He’ll be the one to get me up before the kids and who I”ll spend time with in the morning in the quiet of the house, who I’ll give my day to. He’ll be the one who will give me patience, strength and wisdom. He’ll be with me in the tantrums, the times of discipline, when I play kitchen and babies and when I play dinosaurs and superheroes. Thinking through this gave me peace. I felt a sense of security and confidence in the Lord I didn’t have when I walked in the door. I embraced it. I’ve been holding on to it tightly. I know it won’t be easy and it won’t be perfect but I’ll make it because I won’t be alone. I’m so thankful for Him It’ll all be good.

Always remember … our God is an awesome God who is able to exceed our limited expectations. Isn’t it great when we humble ourselves, wallow a bit of pride and lean on Him!
