I've read somewhere that everyone's miserable. They're just good at hiding it. I have been trying to find out why this new season seems to be a burden to me. Don't get me wrong -- I enjoy motherhood and I love my little one but something seems to be blocking my view of experiencing it joyfully.  Callie's already 10 months and everything just dawned on me -- why I was struggling, why I can't see things the way it should be, why I felt ineffective and frustrated and depressed.

Unexpected Provision

We may not expect it but He has His own way of hitting two birds with one stone--providing for your needs and teaching you some of His principles. I was just humbled by this experience... Indeed, He never forgets... His promise remains!
