THERE. For me, I know that's when I have to say, "Ok Lord, I quit. Obviously I cannot do this in my own strength. I surrender it all (chores, kids, etc) to you" You will have a great time on your retreat and I'll be praying for ya! Oh girl, I have SO. BEEN. THERE.

Nobody said it was the easiest, but few have shared how truly hard it can be. Praying for a recovery to health for the family and a wonderfully encouraging weekend of fellowship for you.

I have felt very similarly lately because I have been sick for a long time as well. As much as I try to be positive and thankful, I have had several breakdowns lately simply from weariness and frustration. As much as it feels like it, you are not alone. I will pray that you feel surrounded by God, your family, and your friends right now! Jana, I am so sorry you are dealing with this now.

I hadn't seen it until a summer Bible study and it was one of those BAD days and it just nourished my soul. I am so very glad that you have such a wonderful friend a few doors down. She is a Godsend to you. I wish I lived closer so that I could help also. I love you. You are a FANTASTIC mommy. We all fall behind on chores and you get a "pass"....your household has been sick for a month. Take a break. Let yourself feel God's love...even when we don't feel pretty! You know I've been here too many times too count! I love that Isaiah verse. I hadn’t seen it until a summer Bible study and it was one of those BAD days and it just nourished my soul.
