Seriously lacking motivation today, but it is ok

This morning, in our Bible time, we read Isaiah 40:11 He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.

What a blessing and comfort those words were this morning!  Just what I needed to hear! 

On a day when all I want to do is climb back into bed, after being up with Callie for an hour, Seren for over an hour, Anna for 1/2 hour, Ashley for a few minutes, and briefly with Brianna...by which time, I felt a revolving door needed to be installed on our room!  Having had 2 bed buddies for most of the night, and having started the night with a sweat soaked bed where sick ones were trying to recover over the course of the day...when I am now feeling very ill again (though it is likely due to not getting enough sleep myself the last 3 nights and not having the time for naps)...God's words were such a comfort.

I took a few minutes to reflect on this passage after our morning reading (which was cut short when Mrs. Basset, the piano teacher arrived)...God gently lead those that have young.  God understands what it is like to have sleepless nights, to be holding small children in the throws of being sick and teething.  He understands the exhaustion of pregnancy.  He is faithful to provide just what we need, just when we need it.

Therapy has not been started today.  Bailey has done her independent school, and the 3 well enough for it are just finishing up piano lessons.  And it is ok.  It is ok to spend the day resting, recuperating, and reading books.  It is ok to have people needing to lay on the couch most of the day, even when there is work to be done.  Because that is where we are today.

If God wanted us to do more, He would have provided a way, either by more sleep, or less illness, instead, we must wait on Him, and trust that He will provide just enough for what He knows we need.  God is good, all the time!
