#noteworthytruth that she found on Pinterest.
It's been a funny old month, and whether it is due to our personal circumstances or due to my pregnancy (my mental health always dips around the half way mark...and when it was already low to begin with...).
Those on Facebook or Instagram will probably have seen with some of the recent posts I am struggling with finding the balance of being a single mother, being pregnant, summer holidays, working and finding time in it all for me (let's not even mention housework shall we?).
Life is hard work right now, but in picking up my crafty bits once the Wild Ones are down in an evening seems to help settle my mind before bed...but these days my brain is so exhausted I don't really know where to start; and my constant company Anxiety tells me that I'm not good enough, I can't do it, who am I kidding...so having the prompts helps.
I actually love this verse...its been a favourite for a very long time. Its a beautiful verse, a reminder for my addled mind that I am part of God's family...and at the moment when loneliness seems to overtake me at inopportune moments in time, that no matter how alone I feel, however much I am struggling and feel overwhelmed, I am rooted in Christ. I am held by him in my lowest moments as well as when I feel alive.
Logically I know I am not alone, I have family, friends, a husband that even though we live separately at the moment is still a big part of my life, my wild ones and their soon to be sibling...but still, loneliness creeps in. Sometimes I need the reminder that God is there, even if I feel that no one is...and I am rooted in him, and he is with me always.
