The Reason I Keep Reciting Philippians 4:13

Weary.

American Heritage Dictionary defines it this way:

1. Physically or mentally fatigued.
2. Expressive of or prompted by fatigue: a weary smile.
3. Having one's interest, forbearance, or indulgence worn out: weary of delays.
4. Causing fatigue; tiresome: a weary wait.

That's me right now. Caused by? A lot of differing variables but lump them all together and this is the result. I feel like #1. My smile probably looks like #2. The sentences definitely apply in #3 and #4.

Thankfully I don't base my identity on how I feel or how I look. I know who I am in Christ and that is what keeps me going. But he did make me human with feelings and emotions and this is where I am at right now.

It's been a long year...

I'm about to hit 'publish' when Barber comes over and asks me to help him get his shoes on - we are about to leave for preschool. What does he start to sing? "Holy, holy is our God Almighty... " Thank you Jesus. I still feel weary but I appreciate the reminder that He is with me and has never left my side throughout the entire year.
