In this season

Remember this post is being written by a woman who is 7 months pregnant and has a 1 year old. 😊😉  Life has a been a little tough lately..I have started not sleeping well, which leaves me so exhausted and kinda grumpy at times.  My body is uncomfortable and hurts so that's been fun.
Yesterday was one of those days where I was completely overwhelmed by life ( I had one of these days Saturday to) When I am overly tired I can be someone who is overwhelmed and overthinking everything.
So this morning it's 3 am and I am awake every part of my back hurts and I can't do anything to help it so I turn a heating pad on and try to sleep...4 am Josh gets up for work and I try some more..finally I start praying and telling God all my worries and everything I am thinking...try to sleep again...4:45 time to get up!
Honestly as much fun as not sleeping is😏 I have been meditating on a verse and really trying to apply it to my life right now. Proverbs 31:25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
    she can laugh at the days to come. 

The definition of the word strength is mental power, moral power, firmness or courage.  The definition of dignity is self respect or appreciation. I always looked at this verse and picture a woman laughing, not really joyful just laughing at whatever will happen she knows she can take it. This is sort of the case except I don't think she is really laughing out loud..I think she stands up and takes a deep breath and with confidence says God I trust you and I give all these things that are to come over to you. 

I have really been applying this verse because as a mom of a a 1 year old, 7 months pregnant  a wife, and a ministry leader, I find myself lately getting very overwhelmed with what is to come. Did you get that..? I said what is to come not what is here now and happening. Why am I worrying myself with what has not yet happened!? 

God has not called any of us to stress and worry he has called us to confidence and strength and yes life is hard and exhausting but God will lead you through the season you are in now and the seasons to come. It's only 7 am and I have a whole day ahead of me so later when the tiredness comes and i need rest and I get stressed I will stop and give it over to God and let it go...

Where ever you are today and I don't mean at home or work I mean emotionally and spiritually read this verse meditate on it and ask God to help you be clothed in confidence and strength. You can do this! 

We are Alive in him
