- God, grant me the serenity
- To accept the things I cannot change;
- Courage to change the things I can;
- And wisdom to know the difference.

Learning to relinquish
One of the things that I struggle with is fatigue. I come home at the end of my work day and I am exhausted. Physically, mentally, emotionally. It takes everything I have to do the bare minimum in my home. I am working on making myself more of a priority and taking better care of myself, but sometimes it seems like too little, too late. I take one step forward and three steps backward. I make a plan and don't follow through because I am so tired. Today, I am asking God to be Lord over this area of my life again. I am slowly learning this can be a minute by minute relinquishment. I don't have to do everything myself, I have a Father who loves me and has promised to take care of me. That in itself motivates me to do the next thing.

I wish I could just give you a hug and let you know that I care. Sometimes things just seem to overwhelm us. I try to remind myself that God said He would never leave us. He will be with us always, He knows how weary we get sometimes. I will be praying for you.
