no more sickness

This past month has been particularly difficult with our family being sick so often. This past week has been even more trying. Both girls are coughing with runny noses and are constantly whining. It also seems that my oldest has decided to assert herself more this week with constant demands and flat out refusals to any requests. Lord help me is all I can say. I can't think of a time when I have been more frazzled and frustrated in my life. I know that seems dramatic but I have really scared myself as a parent more than I have the past few days. I just want to run away to some other place. Not for long but maybe a weekend. But I can't. Not yet. Until then I just need more of God. More of His presence. More of His joy. More of His peace. More of His love.
