It was a tough start to the week. From a quick end of summer vacation (more this weekend), to back to work and kids not feeling well (again) it's just been one of those. You know the weeks, where you feel like the waves are just crashing over and over on you. They are coming so hard and fast that it's impossible to catch your breath. And all you want to do is stand there, watch them roll in and jump over them. But you can't. You can't even swim under them. They are crashing, and somewhere in there you snag a breath here and there, treading water and keeping afloat.
But here we are. It's Friday! Jackson and Addison start school on Monday. Their back to school pool party is tonight and I can hardly believe summer is over. Hopefully these next few weeks the waves will slow down. Hopefully we can catch our breath and maybe even jump over a few. It's exhilarating to do. Freeing even. Or, we'll take a deep breath and swim under them. Hearing the churning of the water above, but knowing we've got this underneath. So though the ocean is big and vast, we will focus on each wave as it comes. Relying on God's strength to carry us through.
