I am commiserating with you! While we...Oh, Wendi! I am commiserating with you! While we do not live on a farm, I have for the first time in my life realized that I can't do everything, and I might have to consider lowering my expectations of what I can do by myself!!! (This is not a hint to you that you need to reach either of the aforementioned conclusions about yourself.) I read your posts though, and I hear frustration and being overwhelmed (I think God just equipped women with the ability to have a really good cry in private to right the axis of our worlds or to get us in position for His help--not sure which), but I catch the glimmer of your humor as you poke fun at yourself and your menagerie of animals and kiddos!!! You are amazing, girl! Who would have ever thought that that young woman on the ball court fighting for goals, or that sweet player who took time to impact my own child's life by sharing her basketball skills, or that excellent teacher with whom I taught who was pragmatically guiding and solving problems in the classroom and loving students who appeared to not want to be loved would end up on a farm facing life's everyday issues with such aplomb???? (asked with tongue in cheek) You have been in training for this all of your life, and you are a survivor, and I am proud to observe how you are a vessel of the Lord's work as wife, helpmeet, mother, teacher, farmer, champion of adoption and infertility--with no thought to prioritized order-- and so many more hats that I can not list them all, and I admire you for it! Fight on! and thanks for sharing your fight!swisherhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11647136103884207716noreply@blogger.com
