At the End of Me

I had to stay home and miss something fun tonight with a kid who was acting out but I got a good deal out of it.  Thankfully it wasn't the kid that has been wearing me thin this week. 

I got three blessed hours of one on one time with a child whose behavior proved it was desperately needed. Not to mention the rest got a sweet Daddy date.

Tonight we ate, we cleaned bedrooms, we ate ice cream, we read books and sang songs.

Mostly we healed after a rough couple of days.

Then I got this.


Icing on the cake.

So desperately needed because I have been teetering on the brink of despair. I am dealing with a very tough placement and every day I've been crying out desperately to God. 

"I can't do this anymore."

Thankfully, at the end of my capabilities, at the end of my patience, at the end of myself...

God can take over.

From here on out its ALL HIM because I don't have anything left at this point. I'm completely drained. 

Honestly though, I'm excited because I can't think of a better place to be. 

At the end of myself, drained of all the good things I thought I had going, is exactly where I need to be if I want to fill up to overflowing with Jesus.
