Sometimes you're the bug... Sometimes you're the windshield. I wonder what today will bring. Have mercy, Lord, and grant me patience with my children, kindness toward my husband and strength for myself. Give me a joyful spirit despite my exhaustion and help me to remember that Silas's "go get 'em, never slow down, get into EVERYTHING and tear it apart then look for the next thing to do at a hundred miles an hour" personality is one of the main reasons he survived the NICU. I wouldn't trade him, or anything about him, for any alternative; just keep reminding me of that as I attempt to keep up with him today.
In Jesus name I ask this.
