The faithful love of the LORD never ends. His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each morning…The LORD is good to those who depend on Him, to those who search for Him. – Lamentations 3:22-23, 25

Oh boy, what a difference from yesterday. I woke up today still feeling yuck and I told myself I HAD to get into action TODAY. I asked God to show me what to do to feel better and I would do it. All of a sudden, I found myself texting two people for help. Both said yes. So while I waited for one to get here, I got to work on the downstairs and was done before she arrived. Then she and I tackled the girls’ room to the max. It was so good to hang with her, especially after everything that happened last weekend. I feel so much love and appreciation for her love and sisterhood. She brought her kids too and it was great to see them. THEN my mom came over with sandwiches and we got a ton done as well. Like, the playroom is put together, a ton of stuff was thrown away, clothes off the banister and my bedroom more organized. I feel a huge weight lifted. Working on my house WITH those two was the absolute best way to spend my day. I’m so glad I kept A1 home one more day. So NOW, what’s next. I MUST quit smoking. I have bought 2 packs the past 24 hours and thrown them both away – tossing $20 down the drain. Oh, another thing. I haven’t taken a nap all day. This is the first day in months that I haven’t slept part of the day away. And honestly, I would really like to stop doing that unless I absolutely need to take one. Like smoking, it’s an avoidance tactic and I’m sick of avoiding my responsibilities. Right now, A2 and I are at A1’s soccer practice. Then we’re going to get McDonald’s and dessert, eat and MAYBE decorate for Christmas. Not sure. I kinda want to just hop in bed and watch a Christmas movie.
All I know is this: I feel better. God has rescued me once again, giving me the strength to ask for help and be honest about my struggles. I am feeling a lot of gratitude which is so opposite of how I felt yesterday. Amazing. Miraculous. Praise the Lord, my Heavenly Father and personal Savior. I love Him so darn much and pray He will continue to guide me and help me eliminate whatever is not serving me any longer.
One more entry and then we are going into 2022.
Remember how I said I had to get more desperate?
Let me tell you something – ask and you shall receive. God ALWAYS answers prayers.
According to His will, not yours.
And often times, it’s going to hurt.
But it’s always for your good.
