Well...

This is how I look when I'm completely exhausted. Physically, mentally, and spiritually drained. When I don't think I have another ounce of energy to get me through the day. When I don't think I can stand to listen to my sick baby cry for another second. When all I wanna do is scream, punch a pillow, or throw something really fragile and expensive.

BUT......

I stop myself. I don't give up. I can't! My 8-month-old daughter needs me. My currently-out-of-town husband needs me. In those moments, I take a deep breath. I pray to God for just one more minute of patience. For my child to be able to snuggle me quietly for just 10 seconds before another outburst.

I know I'll be ok. I know I'll make it. I know that this is just a phase of life and when I look back in 10 years, I probably won't even remember this moment. And that's comforting.

So if you're having an off day, whether it's something little like your sick child screaming in your ear as you try to comfort her, or suffering from depression, or whatever it may be, know that God will get you through it. It just takes time.

"All things work together for the good of those who love Him."
