We have had such a good day today! Very busy but a good day. I would say though that tonight I'm adjusting. Adjusting to a tweaked parenting style and an entire new attitude. I have to say I'm rather exhausted and overwhelmed by it all but also very happy because I can really see progress. While it is more work during the day to really be focused on those teachable moments even more than usual there is such a huge reward for it. In time I will adjust to it energy wise and it will all become routine. Until then I have a feeling I have a few exhausted evenings ahead of me. So worth it! I know I said that already but whatever. :)
"How many times have you heard me cry out God please take this. How many times have you given me strength to just keep breathing. Oh I need you, God I need you now. Standing on a road I didn't plan...I'm trying to hear that still small voice. I'm trying to hear above the noise." These are lyrics to a song by Plumb that speaks to how I have felt so often these past couple of years. There were many days that I needed to be given that strength to just breathe.Yet that desperation has turned into the attitude you just read in the first paragraph of this post. Some of it is thanks to finally knowing what is going on but mainly the attitude is because God has truly done a work in me as a mom (and as a Christ follower in general) over the past couple of years.
That is all. Short and sweet post tonight.
