I am exhausted the day after a holiday...who am I kidding I am exhausted the day before, the day after, two weeks prior to or a month later....I am exhausted all the time. Life as a homeschooling, stay at home mom can become tiresome almost to the point of feeling as though I am doing no thing more than dragging myself through the motions of the day. When the tiredness really sets in, I feel even less inspired. It is so consuming that it can become a normal routine. I am constantly looking for some peace and quiet...an uninterrupted space that is away from the demands of my kids. Don't begin to judge me for being completely honest. I mean the one that truly matters already knows that I live vicariously through others that are able to find that desirable space of tranquility.
When those days, much like today seem long and tiresome, I remember that my rest will come in due time and when it does, I want to hear God say, "well done, good and faithful servant." A friend of mine reminded me that when God commissions us to do something, He always gives us what we need to succeed. If and when I need rest, He will make sure I get the amount I need. I trust in the Lord that His goodness will see me through. Whatever He asks me to do, He will help me finish it.
So, even on the days when I am feeling exhausted and uninspired, I will keep my faith strong because I know that as long as I am answering His call, the fruits of my labor will be seen...in God's time.
