To follow up on yesterday's post. I was seriously freaking out last night. Today's appointment wasn't nearly as bad as the appointment before, when we were in the Dr Room for 1 1/2 hrs with a constantly screaming toddler, etc... but today all 4 children did have to be restrained for shots. It was sad. I was very thankful that Scott was there and that he offered to be there!! Thank You, Lord!! After the first had her shots, everyone cried until it was over. Then we did a drive-thru lunch & Target where everyone got a toy (yes, I realize that bribing your kids is wrong, but...) ... + a couple of errands. Amelia broke down in Target. When we got home everyone was getting along and happily playing; I snuck away to take a shower & when I went to check on them after, they were still getting along and happily playing. Madelyn said, "welllll, they were fighting for a minute." But hey they worked it out with out me!!
The stressful parts of the day I did have to keep praying, breathing, and not taking the weight on my shoulders/ upper back (where I tend to start hurting during stress). God kept me. He did it! He gave me rest & sent my husband with me to help buffer the Dr. madness.
Today, He also pried some fear out of my hands and helped me to simply walk in obedience without freaking out. I felt really good.
Deuteronomy 31:8
"The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
truth.
