Exhaustion is the word of the day. I have been trying to will myself to do a little more each day and that isn't working. This is such new territory for me as I have always just done what I needed to do despite fatigue, illness, or anything else for that fact. God obviously has a new lesson for me here. Isn't it funny the little lessons that we learn through different situations we are in. Sometimes they are so little that if we blink we will miss them but they are equally important to the bigger, more obvious lessons.
We did accomplish something today that was on my "must do" list. We went and had family pictures taken. I was quickly reminded why we don't have these taken often as we seemed to rotate one meltdown after another. We got through it though and I was grateful that my husband and children hung in there for me to get the pictures we did.
I knew when this all started that these pictures had to be taken. This moment in our lives had to be documented. I knew from the beginning that regardless of the outcome that my family would either need these pictures or I would need these pictures. As it turns out, I will be the one clinging to the portrait of my family in my darkest hours. The images of joy which are so clearly etched on my heart. The joy that not only God has promised me but shown me repeatedly day after day and a joy that I know I will see once again.
