Do you struggle with keeping your rhythm the same when your man is away? I sure do. Just the fact that it is 12:08 am and I am not in bed is one of them. I find that I try to fit too much into a day or don’t get anything done at all! Then – I stay up way to late, trying to get it all done. What happen to being in between those two things – getting things done and being well rested when he was here?
Truly, I don’t have a complete answer to this. One thing I do know is, that it is a matter of discipline. If it means I need to set a timer for myself or set my alarm in the room to tell me when I need to GO to bed – no matter how much I still need to get done, I need to do it. God has called me to be the best wife and mother I can be. And especially when my husband is gone, I need my rest in order to be those things. I can draw on the Lord’s strength even in this small discipline. I can pray to Him about this because He cares about all things in my life. Praise the Lord for that fact!
