First Day of 2010

Happy New Year.

I'm exhausted. I feel like I'm under attack and in some sort of funk that I know only time with the Lord can resolve. A stressful day with the kids; my wife needed to seclude herself in order to recharge from 2 weeks of Winter break with non-stop childcare. I wasn't giving my best in breaking up every argument or fight and by the end of the day, my mood was downright foul toward my wife and kids.

To add to the stress, I'm coming to the realization that we're in some significant debt. We didn't even buy big ticket items this season. Having the kids home means more groceries, more events to drive to and pay for and of course, Christmas. Add medicine for the dog and now it appears the cat has some new health issue that will need to be treated. I'm feeling overwhelmed and it's day 1 of 365.

I pray that tomorrow, God gives me the strength to make better choices. If I put my trust in Him, I should be alright.

Philippians 4:13 (New King James Version)

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
