Small moments matter.
I'm learning this all over again with a newborn in the house. I'm also realizing that I suck at asking for help. Like, I'm really really bad. Especially when I'm tired...which is odd, cuz you would think that that would be the time when I am MOST likely to ask for assistance. But, nope. I get this stupid pride of "look how much I'm pushing through the exhaustion" arrogance, and I just tumble down farther into a sleepless stupor.
And we all suffer.
So, you may ask, why don't I suck it up, ask for help, and watch us all benefit? No clue. But I am trying to work on it. Because, truly, a 10 minute shower, or 5 minutes of drinking some tea in the backyard, or a 30 minute nap....yeah, life-giving....when I ask for it. Not obtainable otherwise. So, Carlene, will you learn?! I sure hope so.
...for the sake of us all :)
I wish I was there friend to help. You are in my thoughts and I would love to hear how things are going for real (enjoying your blog because it helps to know how to pray for you more). I love you dearly!
ReplyDeleteI love and miss you dearly too, Lindsay. Oh to live in close proximity again! I am just thankful for the years we had together, and that you are still a close friend. I'm so excited for our trip in August to get to see you and your SON! Thank you for your prayers - they are MUCH appreciated. Love you, friend.
