When your mind is racing....

It is 1:34 am, yes that would be in the morning, and I CAN'T SLEEP!!! I need my sleep, but my mind is everywhere. How do you quiet a racing mind, how do you slow and mute the random thoughts, the worries, the stress? SCRIPTURE, I know it's my weapon, I know it is my defense, but yet I struggle.

I worry about my little one who was admitted into the hospital this evening. What is wrong, how is she doing, does she need some 'cuggles' from her momma? I know her daddy is right beside her and can comfort her and give her those 'cuggles' when she needs and wants them, but it is the not knowing and the motherly instinct and yearning to be there to hold and comfort your child when they are sick.

I can go with her big brother in the morning to hopefully take her home. They believe it is some kind of bacterial infection, but when we couldn't get the high fever to break and neither could they, she was admitted and started on an IV. She was also complaining about her eyes, and that is one thing that you just don't take lightly (well at least we don't). It has been a long winter of illness and of trying to get things figured out with this little monkey.

Exhaustion, pure Exhaustion. It is times like these where we need community, we need support, we need help, but the only place we can turn is to HIM to give us the strength, the endurance, the energy to just carry on, one day at a time, no matter how beaten down, frustrated, stressed, exhausted, we may feel. I look to the cross.......

Please pray for this little one.

I'm so sorry to hear that she's having more medical issues! I will pray now even as I hope things have cleared up and you are all doing well at home!

"Heavenly Father, we lift up this little one before you. We ask that your wisdome will be continually forefront in this situation and that you will be with this family. I thank you, Lord, that your plans are perfect and your healing is guaranteed though it doesn't always look the way we expect. You are perfect in all your ways and we love and trust you. Please open our eyes so we can see and especially put your hands over little G's eyes right now. Thank you for your compassion and your grace. Please hold G close and help her to feel your wonderful peace. Please help her owwies to go away and help her to rest and recover quickly. Amen."
