Hard Weekend

​So, without going in to too much detail, this whole weekend has been really hard.  My husband went on an hours long rampage yesterday that ended with me taking the kids out for dinner at 8pm and then another 2 hour long lecture so we didn’t get to bed until almost midnight.  Then, today was the last Sunday the family of the boy my daughter likes were going to be at our church because they are going to attend a church closer to home.  They just this week were allowed to start texting each other but last night my husband decided to put the breaks on their relationship and took her phone away.  There is so much drama going on in our house right now and I am so mentally and emotionally fatigued.

This is a weekend where MS prevents me from enduring the marathon lectures and hours long intense monologues.  I can’t keep up with all the words and I end up making things worse because I can’t follow the long train of thought.  I sit quietly and yawn like nobody’s business and I can’t help it.  My husband calls it “power yawning.”

I am tired.  I took a nap in my son’s room after church today because my husband had locked me out of our room.  I slept so deeply that when I woke up I had no idea where I was.

But I will say that our pastor’s message on Ephesians 6:12&13 was really good and I feel like it was exactly what I needed this weekend.  And he said we would spend the rest of the summer on the armor of God which I am REALLY looking forward to!

A couple of blessings to report:

1.  Yesterday one of our neighbors gave our daughter a blouse her granddaughter had bought new but decided she didn’t want.  Our daughter loves it and wore it to church this morning where she got several compliments.🙂

2.  This afternoon the same neighbor gave us 2 big bags of veggies - 3 kinds of little tomatoes, big tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, a yellow squash, huge green salad onions and green bell peppers.  Such a wonderful and generous neighbor!

I had a friend stay and talk with me after church today just because she could tell I didn’t want to be by myself.  She’s a fairly new friend but she seems to understand me pretty well and I appreciate her so much!

Tomorrow is a new day.  Praying it will be a much better one!
