This time what you have written hit me hard. I have been awake all night (it's 4:30 am here) doing stuff around the house that needed to be done. I had a breakdown moment (2 minutes of crying, wipe face, get back to life-that's how moms do it!) tonight where the boys had been fighting all day and I felt overwhelmed by the house being trashed, and instead of going and having some quiet devotional time (like I have been feeling the Lord tell me to do), I quickly put the kids to bed and started in on the cleaning. Binge cleaning like I tend to do (ignore things until they get so bad that I have to spend 8 hours straight trying to catch up). So I sat down at the computer while waiting on a load of laundry instead of watching TV which is the other thing I tend to do, have noise on, not really watch or enjoy but distract from thinking or getting quiet. I read your blog and I knew that even if it ends up being good for you to write or others to read, it is definitely for me. I am going to stop for the night, let myself go to sleep-but before that lay down and read that devotional and see what God has had for me all day that I didn't take the time to receive. Thanks, Adam. And by the way, I have been "getting" what you have been writing. Good stuff!
