When it’s Monday, and the alarm clock is yelling to get you out of your bed and the coffee maker is clogged up yet again and you can’t remember if the kids did their homework or if the field trip is today or last week.
God is faithful.
When it’s Monday and all you want to do is sleep, glorious sleep, because it’s your only refuge from the hardness of the weekend but you have to get up because there are tiny hungry tummies and carpools to drive and noses to wipe and work to get done and gardens to plant and music to rehearse and lessons to plan.
God is faithful.
When it’s Monday, and you never did get caught up on those bills that need paid and the laundry that’s mounded up in the laundry room and the hallway and the sun’s not even risen but you’re up and you’re taming tantrums and kissing away booboos and you just don’t want to think.
God is faithful.
When it’s Monday and you’re still tired from the weekend and you’re exhausted and it hurts to move and the morning feels raw and you have regrets for the things you did and regrets for the things you didn’t do and you think you really just messed up.
God is faithful.
When it’s Monday and the lawnmower is broken and the laptop is barely working and the toilet won’t flush and there are bugs where there aren’t supposed to be bugs and you’re pretty much in the worst mood ever.
God is faithful.
When it’s Monday and your week is already falling apart and your life is already falling apart and nothing was supposed to happen this way.
God is faithful.
And when it’s Monday and the sun is shining and the birds are singing and you love your work and your children are happy and everything is right in the world.
God is faithful.
When the kids are singing “King of kings and Lord of lords” at the top of their lungs all the way to school just because.
God is faithful.
And when the kids are fighting because they were singing “Kind of kings and Lord of lords” at the top of their lungs all the way school and it got to be too loud for their own little ears.
God is faithful.
When your son holds up the entire car line of children trying to get in to school because he just wants you to meet his little friend and they come to the car and run off into school holding hands.
God is faithful.
And when news from work and news from school and news from your friends is nothing but bad news.
God is faithful.
And when you just want life to go back to the way it was and you know that it just can’t ever go back.
God is faithful.
And when it’s good and it’s bad and it’s both all at the same time and you cannot take it all in so you just don’t even try.
God is faithful.
And when it’s Monday or it’s Tuesday or it’s Friday or it’s Saturday God is faithful.
And when things are going right and things are going wrong and things are completely out of our control all we can do is trust in the one who has always been who always will be faithful.
And when you need to remember that He has pulled you through before and He will overcome again take a big breath and let it out and turn it over to Him.
God is faithful.
