Alright Internet, it’s been a couple of days. See the picture right up there, that’s what I’ve been doing.
I’m having trouble getting anything done around here, let alone finding time to write a post. It’s 6 a.m. and Carter is in a good mood at the moment, so I am tapping away at the keyboard while I have the chance.
He’s been super needy lately, wanting me to hold him constantly. It’s probably his teeth. I don’t feel right letting him cry if he is really in some kind of pain. It’s definitely wearing on me though. It feels like I just need a little break or even a glimpse of a break would calm my nerves. I stand and hold him as I watch my house and my spirit unraveling right in front of me. I know this will pass shortly, and soon enough he will be crawling around on hands and knees.
We are going away for the weekend and leaving early tomorrow morning. I am wondering how I will get everything done today. Maybe if the Lord could just send me a little grace today and allow Carter to love his bouncy seat and swing. Or maybe, I just need to increase my patience. Patience to hold and bounce longer. Patience to cuddle and sing even when I know I have millions of other things to do.
Colossians 3:12 “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
This verse convicts in so many other ways.
But, seriously, how could I be upset with him. Look at that belly, it’s so kissable.
I love him Erin!! soo cute. wish I was there to come over and help you!! Miss you
