Three days straight writing on the blog!! WOW!! I guess my little brain is working overtime and I just needed to share a thought I read here today.
We've all had those days where we wish we had stayed in bed and vow to never touch an electrical appliance again because we WILL destroy it! And when we get that "I can't handle any more" attitude, here was the advice this authors husband gave her. LOVE IT!!!
“You don’t have to handle it,” my husband replied. “There’s no rule book somewhere that says you have to go through life handling everything. Just muddle. I’ve been muddling for years and no one can tell the difference.” Muddle, I thought. I think I can muddle. Now every time I’m feeling overwhelmed, I remember my husband’s timely advice. Frankly, I’ve been muddling ever since and so far no one can tell the difference, just like he promised.
I realized God loves us like that. No matter how big the mess or mistake we’ve made, God provides us with a Savior to help us clean it up. That is the essence of muddling. Muddling is not mediocrity. Muddling allows us to stop keeping up appearances or worrying that we’ll never measure up. Muddling is accepting our humanness and inadequacies. Muddling is realizing there are some messes only Christ can clean up. And muddling is seeing our worth through God’s eyes and never giving up hope that things will work out.
And for Jessica who is having a terrible time with a teething/clinging baby ~ "This too shall pass". What a blessing Lizzie does have to cling to you instead of being in daycare. We LOVE you guys for struggling to make that work. And just keep saying "It's a good thing she's cute!!!" That got me through a lot!!
Here's some Lizzie eye candy from the wedding. One of my favorite shots Cassie snatched!!!
