Exhausted

Some days when I have done all that I can and feel like giving up I think about how far I have come and keep on going. When I was in college and taking care of my family, and homework, housework and other obligations I had many days that were exhausting. Sometimes I felt like I should give up and not continue with school. I kept going because I saw that I was closer to finishing. Those days were difficult. I was battling my own self doubts and fears and taking care of a little girl that didn’t grow well, hounded by doctors and not to mention my own health was not great either. I would get up and do what I had to do, homework, housework, baby care and collapse at the end of the day. Once, I monitored how often I nursed my baby and it was round the clock care. 4 hours of continuous sleep at night but she nursed every 45 minutes, because she had tiny blood blisters in her esophagus that would cause her to only take in a little at a time. It was difficult to continue at times, because I still had assignments due and the house didn’t clean itself, neither did the laundry. However, I persisted through all the pain, and eventually things worked out. My daughter stayed small, but the diagnoses although slow in coming eventually validated me. Not only that I did get my degree. and my house and laundry still got clean. The point is that even though you might be exhausted physically, emotionally, mentally there is one who can still lift you up and help you get through it. Literally having to look to God and live is how I got through it. As I look back at what was my life I can see where and how Heavenly Father took care of me even when I couldn’t take care of myself. He can help you too, if you look to him.
