No SOAP today

I am having such a hard time finding one verse to write about today. I have read and re-read (and re-read, and re-read and…)  today’s readings (Exodus 3-5 and Luke 22) and just don’t hear any ONE thing jumping out for me. Yes, there is a lot being said in both passages, but I cannot find the one thing that God has for me today.

I am sorry. I am sorry I don’t have anything for you this morning. And I am sorry I haven’t had much lately.

I am feeling a little lost lately.

I know many of you work harder in your home situations than I do. And maybe what I’m about to write will sound a little whiney. But I am tired.

My husband’s job has required a LOT out of him lately. Much more than ever before and, most likely, much more than ever again, once he makes it past this new change. It is an exciting change and one for the better. But it is exhausting. I’ve barely seen him during the daylight hours and I don’t think our children have seen him more than twice since January 9.

So I’m frazzled and disorganized and tired and trying to keep a happy face.

And I bet there is a verse in there that God is whispering to me, yet I cannot hear it for all the buzz around me.

I promise I will get back on track. And I’ll hear more in my SOAP times soon. But for today, I have to let myself off the hook and simply apologize. I’m sorry I haven’t posted regularly. And I’m sorry this one doesn’t offer much.

But I’m going to go about my day now. And let myself off the hook. And see what I hear throughout the day.

On a very happy note, I am blessed with incredible in-laws. Yesterday my FIL came over and rescued me from a few household issues that I could not solve on my own. And tonight my MIL is coming over to watch the kids so I can escape to a Proverbs 31 Ministries Girls Night Out event with Kate Gosselin, Ayiesha Woods, Renee Swope, and  Lysa TerKeurst. I am so looking forward to it. I think I’m already a bit emotional, so I don’t know if I will be laughing, crying or both all night.

Anyhow, my apologies. I’m going to try my best to listen. And get back on track.

Thanks for your understanding. And if you hear anything for me, PLEASE comment away. I could use it.

    Don’t apologize. No one can be on their game all the time…right? Just know you have God with you and he does not give us three strikes and we are out. He understands us and knows what we need. He also wants us to give it all to him…glory as well as frustrations, he can handle it. Just hang in there, take your time and remember tomorrow is a new day! One day at a time, that’s the best we can do! You are so inspirational so try to rest in that fact!

    Oh you don’t have to apologize… we have all had many days like you are having today. Just remember there is always a better day coming… you have a guide throughout your life.

    I can be there tomorrow… I give good hugs and listen , well, pretty good. And I can watch your children and I can do almost anything you want me to do because I love you and want you to feel better.

    The cool part about God is that he meets you right where you are each day…no matter what you’re doing or where you are. I suspect that even though you’re probably so tire you can’t put a thought together (as I am today as well) you feel a sensing of God’s peace.
    “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the Peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

    This verse just came to me as I was reading your blog post. I don’t have much scripture memorized so God handed me this verse in response to your post–of course, I had to look up the passage!!
