Large Family Logistics Appendices

We do not know what to do but our eyes are on you. 2 Chronicles 20:12

Blogging through the book with the the 4 Moms for the last little bit of the book, the appendices.
Appendix A Coping While Exhausted and Overwhelmed
Appendix B Moving Beyond Survival Mode

Often times in life we come to a spot when we do not know what to do. We "can't see the forest for the trees". Someone else looking from the outside can immediately see what the problem is and give ideas to fix it but we are bogged down and stuck. Like a game of Chutes and Ladders going up and down over and over again.

We do not know what to do but our eyes are on you. 2 Chronicles 20:12

Call upon the Lord and He will give you rest. He is wisdom. The Holy Spirit will counsel you. Ask Him.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Ephesians 6:10

Whether are challenges are big or small, continuous or hit us at a certain time every single day, physical or spiritual we have the best weapon to meet the challenge and that is God's Word.

Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Ephesians 6:17

When Jesus was tempted by Satan He used the scriptures as a sword and we should do the same throughout our days to meet the small challenges and the big ones. Satan will wear us down with mundane little things and cause us to be useless in God's kingdom, useless in raising up Godly children. Do not let that happen. Memorize God's Word, post it around your home, teach it to your children.
Coping While Exhausted and Overwhelmed
and
Moving Beyond Survival Mode
are both nitty gritty bare bones instructions on how to get your life back on track. Both address the spiritual aspect of priorities and attitude but I wanted to reiterate here that when we have things right with God, when our priorities are lined up with His priorities, when we are seeking Godly counsel, when are hiding God's Word in our heart and using His Word as a sword then we are stronger in Him. And we  have His peace that passes understanding. And we have joy like a fountain. And we see people like Jesus does and we love them like Jesus does.

Heavenly Father,
We thank You and praise You for blessing us with Your Word which is a light to our path and a sword against the enemy. Please help us to faithfully read Your Word and to teach it to our children. Help us all to hide it in our hearts and not sin against You. Help us to be strong in You and faithful in the work that You have given us to do.
In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
