Sometimes it makes sense

Someone posted to the RR group about being overwhelmed and whether they were alone in that. I really thought about that and wrote down what came to mind as my reply...

Overwhelmed some days is a good way to get back to our knees, right?? :) I often think "Ok, God, you got my attention!" when my kids are misbehaving and I realize that I've not responded how I should have. I also know VERY well that God will give us more than we can handle... ALONE.

But sometimes that extra pressure from a whiney child is just what we need to turn back to God and look back at what we're doing and why...

I have 5 kids ages 7,6,4,3, and 5 months. Yesterday we were matched with another 3 yr old. 3 of my kids have Ds and so does the new little one. New little guy will make 3 non walkers and 5 in diapers. I'm not exactly sure what God's plans are but I know that His plans are not our own an His grace is sufficient!!

So my advice is just to keep walking, one step at a time, and don't forget that when you fall down, your knees aren't such a bad place to be...

I hope I can remember that as each day goes on!
