Not feeling well definitely does make us more dependent on the Lord!

I can totally relate with everything just boiling over and then reacting out of that >.<
Since having my second bub, (15 months apart), I have struggled so so much with stress and anxiety. It sucks! I am constantly crying out to Jesus to help me. And He has been. Its just been a journey haha. God is good! All for His glory hey 😉 Its made me more dependent on Him and I know He is working in me to make me more like Him 🙂

It really makes me sad that a lot of moms are struggling with their attitude and don’t even realize that it extends beyond a spiritual issue. I’m thankful God has opened doors for me to understand some of these things and learn how to handle them from a physical standpoint, but I hope other moms will be able to find the answers they need as well. I just prayed for your family. I know it’s tough!

I also have struggled with severe chronic fatigue/ adrenal burnout for years. It got a lot worse after my second was born and we are expecting number 4 this winter. My daughter and one of mysons has symptoms of it also. I have to take life very slow and “slow down and love” focusing on that. It’s so hard when it seems everyone in my house is exhausted and melting down with anger and bad attitudes when I myself am tired and busy with caring for the kids. I’m homeschooling also so it adds pressure. I have to really lean on the Lord for patience. Esp. when my oldest is struggling with crankiness and fatigue/bad attitude because her body doesn’t feel good. It’s good to know others who understand the struggle. I ask for wisdom and grace from God a lot but still struggle. Health does contriubute and many people don’t understand that. It’s not an excuse but we do have to understand that and factor it into how we handle things.
