In a funk...

For the past two days, I've been in a bit of a funk. HATE when I feel like that. And for no apparent reason. I have so much to be thankful for, and I am - I have an uh-maze-ing husband, great kids (even though they make me want to pull my hair out much of the time!), a roof over my head, food to eat every day, and a good job. 

Still, I'm a girl. I guess maybe that's all there is to it. Just hormones. Nonetheless, what did I do about it yesterday when my kids were napping (I was home from work)? I took out my bible, printed a couple of handy references from pinterest for bible verses (see http://pinterest.com/pin/168040629815898989/ and http://pinterest.com/pin/168040629815898992/) and sat down to read. 

I would love to say that immediately I was a changed woman...renewed, fresh, perfect...nope. BUT, I was comforted, reassured, reminded, held. I read for about an hour, just flipping around from verse to verse...and I found one that stuck with me. So, I committed it to memory. (I promise, I am typing here from memory):

Isaiah 40:31 - but those who wait on the Lord will be renewed. They will mount on wings like eagles; the will run and not be weary; they will walk and not faint.

This is a good reminder to me - no matter how "tough" life gets (and let's be honest, I have it pretty good...I'm not facing the trials that many I know are!) all I have to is wait on the Lord. He is enough.
