I'm being reminded again that any foundation other than God is bound to fail. Emotions of the past week have been tumultuous. Even three snow days and a federal holiday (making for a six day weekend from school!) were insufficient to lighten the tensions of keeping house, doing homework, hosting my brother and a friend-in-transition, feeling helpless with the effects of pregnancy, wanting to start readying the house for the baby, knowing our reliance on God was weak, struggling with complaining and laziness and fear and indecision, wanting to be thankful...
Yesterday and today, my own stress lightened. I don't know why. Katlyn smiled (even when her body ached). God is growing us. We pray lots; others pray for us, too. In the midst of a stressful morning I tried to sing what I know is true:
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
All glory, laud, and honor to my Redeemer King!
