Happy Last Day of Summer! School officially starts tomorrow and I do believe we now have everything we need to kick of the school year. Grace and I finished the last of the shopping tonight, we cut it a little close, but we made it!
Kayleigh is excited to start back. Still a little nervous but I think excitement to see her friend is starting to out weight the nerves. She is back to being filled with spunk and sass, just the way I like her. I asked her what to tell you all tonight and she said “tell them we’re all fine and give them two thumbs up.” So here you go… 👍👍. Kayleigh says life is good!
Today was certainly a better day for me than yesterday. The devil was still on the offensive but I handled it a little better. I managed to get pretty battered by all those little things Sunday and Monday. So much so that just recounting the events on the blog drained the remainder of my emotional reserves and I would up a frustrated crying mess last night. And if you know me, you know I don’t cry often.
But as always Gods promises are true. I slept last night and awoke to a new day – full of new mercies. And while the devil was still hurling little things my way, i made it through the day. Maybe not with my usual ease, once I get drained like that it takes me a little time to refill the stores, but we made it. And tomorrow will be even better. I just have to rebuild one day at a time and God is good to grant me the strength I need moment by moment.
So tonight I can say “thank you Jesus” for an “eh” kind of day. It wasn’t fabulous but it was certainly better. Of course any day I can end by snuggling with my children is a good day. So really, I’m saying Thank you Jesus for a good day.
Until tomorrow,
‘Carrow 💜
