Week 15: 10 miles

yesterday was a tough day. i was feeling so overwhelmed with everything. our life has become so busy lately. the kids are each in one sport, which has us running too much. plus now youth group has started once a week for my son, and the girls are taking piano once a week. i always said i didn't want to be one of those families that is super busy with no time to just be at home together. well, lately that has been us.
even if your child is only involved in one thing, it gets busy when you have multiple children.

we're trying to find the balance in all of it.
i'm still learning that i can't do it all. there are some things, even though they are really good things, that i need to say no to (gasp!). i can't help with every need that arises at church, or every friend that needs a helping hand. this is a hard lesson for me.

i went for a run in the evening and that helped. what would i do without that time with the Lord?!  He reminded me that i can't do anything on my own. i need His help in everything.
i know this, yet i need to be reminded daily.
thankful that His mercies are new each morning.
thankful for the giver of my every breath.

enjoying my rest day today.
20 miles tomorrow.
