may your power rest on me

Long day today, which can be summed up in one word. Poop. Lots of it. Went to get Callan up from his nap and found him covered in it. On the mattress. Under the mattress. On the floor. All over him. Under his nails. All over the crib. Nasty.

That was the highlight of the day. He had a total of 4 baths today. That's all I'm gonna say.

Callan was in the bathtub, Kinsley was laying on the floor screaming, and I was cleaning poop off the crib thinking to myself, "Come, Lord, come! Now would be the perfect time for you to come back. I'm ready!" haha Desperate times...

I called a friend and asked her to pray for me. As she prayed for me over the phone, one line of her prayer stuck out to me. She asked God to give me fresh grace for my circumstances. Fresh grace. Fresh. Grace. That's exactly what I needed. Fresh grace from God to help me with whatever trials still loomed in front of me.

Speaking of grace, I couldn't have downloaded this song to my ipod on a more appropriate day. I just randomly found this song on itunes yesterday, and it has been my saving grace today. Been clinging to these words:


May Your Power Rest on Me
by Sojourn

Let me hear my Savior say
"Your strength shall return"
Then I'll rejoice in my weakness
As I lean on your grace
As I lean on your grace

May your power rest on me
You are strong when I am weak
I can bear all things when temptation springs
For you sustain me all my days

Let me know my Savior’s face
Let my hope be secure
Then I’ll rejoice in my weakness
As I lean on your grace
As I lean on your grace

Once from the Lord withdrawn
I thought that I could live my life alone
Leaving the solid ground
I sank beneath His wisdom
The harder I tried to climb
The closer I was to find how great is my weakness

Though the trial still goes on
Your grace will be my song
For I can bear all things when temptation springs
For you sustain me all my days
