Simply Living for Him…even when it’s hard!

I have no business writing on here today. I don’t feel very inspirational, but to be truly authentic, we are to share even our faults. I am such a sinner and thankfully have a Savior who will see me through even when I don’t feel deserving.

I’m tired. The baby, for no apparent reason, was up half the night. In turn, he DID sleep late, so I was hoping to sleep in a bit. The other kids were up and playing loudly. I asked them 3 times to keep quiet to no avail. All I wanted was some sleep. I felt so frustrated.

I have a headache, I am a little nervous about starting up school tomorrow, and overall just feeling overwhelmed. I was going to skip blogging today, after all I had nothing really inspirational to write.

Yet God had other plans. I felt like I needed to show that in my shortcomings, in ALL of our shortcomings, is when we need to Simply Live for Him more than ever. Its too easy to focus on myself right now, and my needs. So I am going to change my focus, no matter how I feel physically, and Simply Live…For HIM. Even when I don’t feel like it.

He wants us to come to Him for strength and that is what I am going to do.

“And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness ” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.” 2 Corinthians 12:19
