It has turned hot here (we got to 85F) and we actually had to retreat to the shelter of the house! <br />Yes, we do need to carry on, but not in our own strength, but the strength of the Lord. And yes, defining us is God's job...thanks for adding that in! <br />Praying you have a lovely day!

We were never promised that our lives would be easy...if they were, why would we need the Lord? Some days, I wish I couldn't find my voice either, LOL...but I do hope yours has returned by now so you can carry on, voice intact!

Just dog-paddling furiously and trying to keep my head afloat. I would not say that I am depressed (that's not my way) but I definitely feel as though life is kicking me in the butt right now. I entered peri-menopause about eight months ago, and the hot flashes are doing me in. So combine 100+ heat every day with hot flashes on top of that, and you've got me at the end of my rope. I have always been very strong, very capable, a Type-A personality, with energy to spare. I work about 55 hours a week at my job, and I am married with three children (ages 12, 11, and 10). But lately I feel like I am being pulled in a million different directions and failing everyone simultaneously. I want to devote more time to Bible study, but too tired. More time to my neglected hubby, but too tired. More time to each of my kids, but too tired. House needs deep cleaned, but too tired. Each night I fall into bed exhausted, and feeling like I have let GOD down, and every human being who exists as well. Heavy sigh. Oh well, chin up, move forward....5webshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764594133665500630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-5947694170454117292018-07-20T03:33:35.553-06:002018-07-20T03:33:35.553-06:00Dearest Amy...

I have yet to share this on my blog, but my mom and five younger siblings will be joining my dad in China (where he has been working this past year) at the end of August and my sister and myself will be remaining here in South Africa due to the two of us being too old to go over as dependents... This is a very difficult yet exciting time for us in so many different ways...we are excited that the Lord has opened the door for my mom and dad to be together again and for the children to be with their daddy...but it is sad to have to stay behind (we will probably visit them in January, though...). We also have to re-home all our pets which is pretty heartbreaking. Today I have been feeling down and weary and your post was exactly what I needed to read this morning! Thinking of you and sending love your way!<br />And praying it cools down!<br />Kelly-AnneKelly-Anne ♥ The Diary of a Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15302889010690025224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5530986912408132571.post-168631334223944682018-07-19T10:54:31.717-06:002018-07-19T10:54:31.717-06:00I just wanted to say that this is so perfect for m...I just wanted to say that this is so perfect for myself and the days we live in!!
