Thank God for Weekends

For a Stay at Home Mom, days can get blurred pretty easily and quickly if we don't stay on top of things.  This week is one of those weeks.  All day today I thought it was Tuesday, and it is Thursday.  The week has been a blur to say the least.  Todd had some medical issues early in the week, which escalated to a call to the ambulance, a visit to the cardiologist followed by 6 hours at his office the next day, followed by a visit to his regular doctor, which leads me to now.  Thursday night, taking deep breaths, and trying to get motivated to do what I need to do tomorrow and this weekend.  Oh, and in case you are wondering, Todd's heart is ticking just fine.  Thank God for taking care of my husband! 

But, I can't say that I'm not exhausted, or that I'm not feeling a little defeated tonight, because I am.  It seems like every time Todd takes a step of faith to do something in his walk with God, there is an attack on his physical, mental, financial and even spiritual life.  He has met some new guys that love the Lord, who are starting a bible study.  He is going to join them in this new group, which starts in a couple of weeks.  I'm beyond excited for him!  I know this is something that he's desired for some time, and it definitely something I've desired for him our entire marriage.  I just get so frustrated.  I know 1Peter 5:8 tells us "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."  I'm angry enough to say back off devil! 

But, I am also finding comfort in the verse before and the verses after.  1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."  1 Peter 5:9-11 "Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. ¹⁰ And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. ¹¹ To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen."

So, tonight, I am thanking the Lord that it is Thursday night.  Bring on Friday fun!  Saturday family time and Sunday rest!  Thank you Lord for restoring us and making us strong, firm and steadfast.  You are so good!
