It seems to me like you always have it together! But I want you to know that I am right next door and even if you don't need a babysitter but just want some company or whatever, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK. Yes, I've got a lot on my plate, as we all do, but I love you and would be more than happy to just come be of any help or comfort if it's possible. So really Joye, I know you have a hard time not feeling bad about asking me to do stuff.....but please don't! (: We love you and the kiddos (and silly Joel too!) very much!<br /><br />P.S. As soon as this icky bummer rain clears up, I'll come over and take the kids on a long walk if you'd like.

I love how you put a visual on things....how you feel like one of the ornaments ready to shatter. Oh, the things I could share...it has been a tough week emotionally on our end too.

It is a huge blessing to be a stay at home Mommy, but it is a lot of work and we need our companions. Praying for you my friend.<br />Blessings,<br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792912615995204430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-60561457080439129612009-12-12T10:10:36.368-06:002009-12-12T10:10:36.368-06:00Hang in there, friend!

Now, I am passed the toddler stage, but my kids have so many activities, and with me working, when daddy is gone it's tough here too.<br /><br />This season is the most beautiful time of the year, but can also be the most stressful for sure. Hold tight to Jesus and he will sustain you throught the roller coaster.Michhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03430940633112993366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-57501815065817644592009-12-12T07:48:35.992-06:002009-12-12T07:48:35.992-06:00Hi Joye,

He still has to travel for 3 - 14 days at a time in his current job. I really don't like it, but it's where we're at in this season. Thanks for sharing...I will be praying for you. <br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />BrookAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-56009961648786839822009-12-12T07:40:49.013-06:002009-12-12T07:40:49.013-06:00I am sure we can all relate to feeling like fragil...I am sure we can all relate to feeling like fragile glass...

It happens to us Moms. Thank God He is there to lift us up.<br /><br />But he told me: "My kindness is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak." So I will brag even more about my weaknesses in order that Christ's power will live in me.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />MimiHe & Me + 3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03692972824923390203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3749153883012123464.post-52067612363031156242009-12-12T00:12:42.859-06:002009-12-12T00:12:42.859-06:00Joye, you know I can totally relate to this post. ...Joye, you know I can totally relate to this post. I've been stressed to the max and tonight I got more news that wasn't good. I am so thankful for the promises of the scripture you posted here.
