It's been one heck of a last few weeks - between Matt's long hours at work and Isabelle's night waking - makes for very tired, exhausted, and frustrated parents. God is faithful to give us rest the last few days.
Psalm 55:22 - "Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."
Psalm 37:7 - "Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him"
Hebrews 12:1-3 - "Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."
Tonight we get to disappear for a few hours after the kids go to bed to celebrate our 9 years of marriage. No fireworks will fly. No celebration of the masses. Just us, our favorite restaurant, and some adult conversation.
