So goes the 8th week of lockdown... tomorrow is the first day at school!! Glad that E can go back for now, i really need a break. 😫 I'm a little worried there may be a surge but this season has really taught me that only God has it in control, worrying won't change anything. Still, i struggle with these flesh-ly things.
In the last 2 months, we managed to get him off diapers!! 😁 i am looking forward to announcing that to his school teacher tomorrow. Thanks be to God too, E did not give us a hard time.
The last few weeks being trapped at home with has made me burst many times (usually with E and when I have to teach him). I've gone through periods of feeling frustrated, angry, then completely wasted and guilt and sadness. There were a few ups but i was wondering how come i'm becoming more down than up. I don't understand myself especially when i cannot see enough reason to feel the way i do. However, i found some comfort when i read "The Common, Hard Things" from keepingheart blog. She talks of the story of Jesus being worried that the crowd that had been with Him for 3 days with nothing to eat would faint on the way home (Matthew 15). He, who fasted 40 days, was concerned for people who did not eat for 3 days. Jesus, who experienced our human weaknesses, did not expect us to be like Him. I felt comforted thinking about how He does not compare us to Him and He has compassion on our weaknesses.
