A few weeks ago Noah dropped Ellie & I off at church, and then had to park pretty far away and carry Josie (in her carseat) into church. Carrying a heavy carseat many blocks when you're all dressed up for church on a muggy day isn't ideal, but as he walked in he reminded me of people in other parts of the world who walk miles just to get to church.
Amazing the difference a change of perspective makes!
It's been an exhausting day today- trying to take care of the girls, get some errands and cleaning done, starting to pack some boxes for our move, cleaning up after a girl who spits up... A LOT and then finding ants all over our kitchen, it's easy to be upset! It feels like life is one step forward, five steps back. But then I open up the book I'm reading about Joni Eareckson Tada, a quadriplegic who is praising the Lord relentlessly in the midst of being wheelchair bound for decades, chronic pain, cancer, chemo and pneumonia.

I'm tired, I'm overwhelmed at the demands of daily life. And I think that's okay to feel and be real about. But, I also know that I just need a change of perspective sometimes. To think through life in someone else's shoes and take time to recognize how much I have to be grateful for! To recognize how the Lord is walking before me and beside me through each little challenge I face.
