Tired But Trusting

I'm absolutely beat tonight. I didn't do much around the house in terms of housework before lunch, but I did manage to work on some IT tasks for the church, and fix a couple of door jambs in our house where two doors were sagging when they were opened.

After lunch, I verified the setup of my son's Ethernet Bridge for his XBox360, as my wife left for a girl's afternoon out with a friend of hers/ours. It's something she never really gets to do, and she deserves every minute of it. So, preparing lunch for the children was going to be up to me. Thankfully, I had already placed the meal on the table, before my in-laws called for some personal computer advice.

After hanging up, I quite literally had a few minutes to finish getting ready, and hoof it up to the church, to rehearse for this weekends' final "Famous Last Words" service.

Once church was over, my stomach was growling. Within minutes, I was headed back to the house where I cooked a quick dinner for the kids and I. After they scampered off to bed, I launched into cleaning up the kitchen, and some nasty messes in our garage which simply could not wait another day. (Grr, I hate cats. Well, not the animal, but the litter boxes- especially when one cat refuses to use it, and simply goes all over the floor. Several times a day. Every day.)

As I sit down to write this, it's well after 10:00PM. I've put in time for everyone and everything else, but haven't really taken care of "me". Tomorrow won't likely be any better in terms of relaxing, as there is more volunteer work to be done, and there are several more items on the agenda (house cleaning) that need to be addressed, before making preparations for the new work and school week.

I'm clinging to God for support.

Isaiah 40:31 (New International Version)

but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Isaiah 41:10 (New International Version)

So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Good Night
