Yesterday

Yesterday was a rough day for me. Getting up at 4:30 am to watch my husband pack up his vehicle to leave me and our children for 8 months is hard. Before he walked out we hugged and I didn't want to let go because I knew I wouldn't get another one until June. Of course the tears started to flow and I hated doing that because I didn't want to make anything harder on him. After he left I went back to bed, cried, and then fell asleep as some point. My sweet dog laid there watching me, she knew something was wrong. Tara woke me up around 8:30 am and I just didn't want to get going. I was wishing I could stay in bed all day but I am still a mom and I gotta keep going for my kiddos. While Tara ate breakfast I read my bible, and chose a Psalm. Of course I had some good reading there. Then I turned on my computer to get my daily devotion. I was so wowed by God's timing, here is the subject of my devo yesterday, "All Alone". Here is the 2nd paragraph in the devotion:
Oh, precious one, do you know how much you are loved by the Lord of the universe? He sees you right now where you are and is waiting for you to look at Him. He holds out His hands in love and says, "Stop crying, my child. I am here for you." He has bottled up your tears (Psalm 56:8) and desires to breathe strength into your heart. He wants you to crawl on His lap and wait for wisdom, as He holds you in His arms of love (Isaiah 40:11).
Isn't God awesome? Just something little like this devotion really helped me through the day. That day I knew would be one of the hardest days, and God knew it and had something for me, waiting for me to open it and read it. :)
I also got a lot of little messages from friends and family letting me know they were praying for me and our family which helped tremendously. I love you all!
Today is so much better, so far. I know we are already one day down! :)
