The Lord is my strength

Today was one of those days when ya just feel like a failure. Anybody else have those? I'll not go into the details of everything I did wrong today. I came across the verse "the lord is my strength and my song." 
I don't want to think "I need more coffee and then I can get through the day." Or " maybe I just need a good girls night- a break!" "I wonder if the kids are just tired, need some alone time with me, hungry, etc, etc." I want my strength to come from the lord alone! And here, tonight, in this quiet house, he strengthend me. I heard him gently ask, "Why are you listening to that lie?" He reminded me of how calm I was when the frozen lemonade exploded onto the car. And how I laughed instead of scolding when Audrey handed her used toilet paper to her sister to let her put in the potty. She was trying to include her in the process and it was actually kind of sweet. #thingsIneverthoughtI'dsayaboutusedtoiletpaper
He is so gentle and so good to me. He lifts my spirit and brings fruit out of it. He's amazing. He is Yahweh.
