I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...
Finding joy and peace because of the chaos in my life, not in spite of it!
Wow! So tiny. I'm glad that you have those footprints. She walked through life for such a short time, but she was here. How are your other children doing?
ReplyDeleteMy 4 year old daughter was practicing her Bible club memory verse today( Psalm 139:14)"I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made" I couldn't help but think of your little Abigail's tiny little footprints. So tiny and fragile but yet fearfully and wonderfully made by our great God.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your family.
Oh, Civilla! I had to turn to my husband and share that with him..."she walked through life for such a short time, but she was here"...so true!
ReplyDeleteThe younger children all have the flu. So that isn't helping anything. They are still trying to understand. LadyBug seems a little more like herself today. She has been somewhat withdrawn and almost angry over it. FlowerChild is very clingy and full of questions. The GuitarMan took it very hard.He has been a huge blessing and help to us throughout the whole ordeal. He went back to the college tonight.
Just Me,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that with me! It is so comforting to know that Abigail's life is impacting others! And what an impact...to make us remember how precious is the life within the womb!! Although, as believers, we know this, seeing those little footprints has just touched so many hearts.
Continuing to remember you and your family in prayer.

Mrs. B,
ReplyDeleteYou know, it can be easy to say "I'm praying for you" when someone is in the middle of a crisis and then to really follow through and do it. But then life goes on and people move on. Often times we start to forget. But true Christian love remembers that person's pain in the following days. I appreciate so much that you are continuing to pray for us!!
