Love this post Lindsay. Also the practical way you break it down. You are right, we need to take the pressure off ourselves to have it all together all the time. Thankfully He has it all together for us!

Love to you and yours,
Claire

Thank you for the sweet encouragement. I think you would also enjoy a book by Philip Keller called “A Shepherd Looks at the 23rd Psalm.” He writes from the perspective of one who used to be a shepherd and expands on each phrase of the Psalm. Very enlightening and encouraging.

This means a lot to me. Thank you so much for sharing. There are many days that I feel far from God, but I still know that he has never once left my side. I feel like I never have a second just to myself. I am going to start trying to find a few quite moments for prayer.

Thank you so much for this post! So encouraging. I have a 2 year old and an almost 10 month old. I’m right there with ya. When I read a couple days ago that you had only gotten 2 hours of sleep, I wondered if you were dealing with insomnia. I also deal with insomnia . . . sometimes related to my cycle, sometimes related to missing my “sleepy” time and sometimes due to a mind that seems to be running full-speed ahead all on its own. God is so good to sustain us on little sleep, isn’t He? If you ever need someone to talk with about insomnia, let me know. May Jesus richly provide all that you need and continue to sustain you and lift up your heart.

I am thankful right now for this moment of quiet and for your idea of paraphrasing Psalm 23 in my own words. I am going to journal on that this week during my morning reflection times.
