Wait and replenish

I can't believe it is already half way through March. It seems like only yesterday I was covering school books and saying goodbye to the last few days of summer holidays. And now here we are, moving ever so closely to the Easter school holidays. Time seems to be racing along no matter how I try to slow things down.

Since my last post in February life has been full. As a family we continue to enjoy the everyday things that make  our life full but then add to that some extra, out of the ordinary events/issues and we begin to overflow. 

And when overflow happens certain things are put to the side. Things like creating and writing/blogging.  And to be honest I just haven't felt like it. Some things have begun to feel like a chore and when that happens I need to take a step back. 

Creating and writing are usually what I do for pleasure, for soul restoration, for me. And lately I haven't had the space or care to do that. 

I am being stretched and pulled in so many directions at the moment.

I am tired in every possible way.

I am weak in body, mind and spirit.

Things that use to give me pleasure are just annoying me at the moment. 

Life is sucking the life out of me. And unfortunately I am not replenishing that with anything. 

Despite all this though I am not unhappy. I am actually joyful. Weird but true. I know this time is for my growth. There is a purpose for it. I just have to keep looking to the strength from above. It will sustain me and it will get me through. Until then I must wait. And very soon I will receive the replenishing I so crave. I just know I will.
