Motivate Me Monday

2:08 pm. That's the local time here. This is really my first moment today to sit down and have an actual thought. My baby girl is sick, so therefore I'm on Mama Overdrive! Last night was the second sleepless night, and today is the second restless and clingy day.

And so, here I sit.

I have often noticed that once I am resolute about something, I am immediately under fire about it. Sometimes it is friends who attack. Sometimes it's my time that assaults me. Often times it's just "stuff" that seems to pummel me from every direction. This time, it's been illness.

I've been recovering from the stomach flu since before Christmas. As soon as I feel that I've finally kicked it, it rears it's ugly head and comes back with vengeance! And now my daughter is sick. What happens when I'm sick? I shut down. I can't do much of anything. I have been so weak and light-headed, so I have basically been useless (my husband can attest to this).

What did I resolve?

I WANT MORE! I know that there's more, and I want it! I want more of Christ! I want more from my time with Him! I want more for myself and more for my family! I want to know Him more!

I have not given up. This passion burns within me. I will "keep on keepin' on". Attacks are immanent, but I've got something to look forward to.

You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.
James 5:8

Thank you, Lord for standing by my side and carrying me when I am too weak. I give you my life, and pray the strength to keep growing closer to you. I know that there will be times of trials, but you are worth it. I love you so much, and can't wait to see what work you are doing.
