The past couple weeks have kicked my butt. I’m sooooo tired! Maybe it’s because it’s a frigid cold Michigan February.

But I think there’s more to it. During my quiet time this morning, as I struggled to stay awake, it hit me…and I became so thankful for these sleepy, worn out feelings!!

Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway, again I will say rejoice.

I am tired because I have a house and a family to take care of.

I’m tired because things are slowly getting back to “normal” and I get to drive my kids around to sports and watch them compete.

I’m tired because I stayed up late hanging out with my husband and spending quality time together.

I’m tired because I have 2 silly dogs who wake me up so much earlier than necessary (ok this one is a stretch…this is actually very annoying)

I’m tired because I have a job to go to every day.

I’m tired because I spend my busy days surrounded by people I love.

Thank you God for making me so very tired in the best way possible!! ♡
