Psalm 55 fits perfectly.

I'm not going to type it all out because it's 23 verses and once people see a long post they usually skip it. But I encourage you to go right now and get your bibles out and read it for yourselves if you want to know what it's like to take in three new boys (one being 2months old), homeschooling my three current children and balancing the creation of a new family while everyone watches you with a magnifying glass.

I read Psalms 55 today. It was not on my reading schedule because I'm actually in 1 Peter. But when you are at the end of your rope and you thirst for encouragement go to Psalms. Flipping through the pages I ran across my underlining of vs. 22, "Cast your burden on the Lord and He will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." So I went back to the beginning of 55 and read the whole thing. Wow. I am there, in that Psalm, living through it! Are you encouraged to read it yet?

You may not be where I am emotionally and this Psalm doesn't mean anything to you, but then again maybe it will. God's word always speaks to us where and when we need it and when we receive it He lifts us up. May God be glorified even in my failings.

Love,

Jessica
