God's faithfullness

I am amazed at how God is so faithful. Yesterday, I found myself laying on my bed crying. I was tired and in a giving up mode. I felt like a failure. I cried out to God and told him that I couldn't do it anymore. I was tired of trying to be a better wife, mom and keeper at home. I was frustrated with all of my failures. I was giving up. I confessed my failures and sins. I think I even told God I was giving up for now.

I then went and read to the kids, as promised. The kids then watched Bolt, again as I promised them. I was giving up so I went on the computer. I didn't want to persevere in my housecleaning and helpmeet duties. I just wanted to forget about reality. So of course, God sent me to Bina's blog. He told me that he always perseveres for me. He will never give up on me. He is forever faithful. I allowed a few tears and a thankful prayer, got up and went to work on my closet. I cleaned and went to the Post Office and library as I needed to. My attitude was not perfect. I was still a little grumpy to my kids, but I got over it quickly.

I talked to Oystein when he came home and received his comfort. I left the house by myself to get some pictures printed and enjoy some quiet. I woke up this morning not feeling like giving up. I was ready for today.

Thank you, God for your faithfullness. Thank you that you are faithful, even when I am not.

2 Timothy 2:13 if we are faithless, he remains faithful (ESV)

Then this morning, I read Dawn's post for today. Again, God was talking to me. He was reminding me that it isn't about all that I do. It's about my relationship with Him!

Amazing!
