Today's prompt.....
TIRED
GO.
I sit here fingers posed, waiting for the seconds to tick down to tell me when my 5 minutes begin.
As I sit there, I ponder.
What does "tired" mean to me.....today?
Today as the first day of December has just slipped into the second.
Today when I just hours before poured out my heart on post and screen about my struggle and my hope for this Christmas season.
Today when I think about the words I penned about the changes that my issues with health have racked upon my body.
How do I sum up "tired" neat and tidy in 5 minutes when tired seems to have become a part of my soul?
And yet....
has it really?
In the midst of the health issues, the baby longings, the questions about purpose and future and dreams, somehow, somewhere, some way, the tired turned into something more -- strength, hope, courage, faith -- and yet nothing really changed.
Except me.
Now I am tired of believing the lies.
Tired of regrets
Tired of living in yesterday.
Tired of holding on to what "could have been" for "what WILL SURELY BE."
STOP.

"Tired of living in yesterday" - me too! Love this post! I took a minute to pray for you tonight :)
Ohh, it's so easy to stick in those things of the "I wish I would have" and the regrets, but God wants to take our tired hearts and souls and renew them! I too am tired of believing the lies Satan wants us to believe!
Oh Lindsey. I am tired of living in yesterday too. This is a new season, a season of expectant waiting, for the one who makes all things new! I loved this glimpse into you today, sweet friend, and I am praying for you....
I agree with you - the tired doesn't always change but we can. Lovely way to word this post!
I enjoyed this post :) I'm glad you're changing, growing for the better. Even though we feel drained in our tired state, there's still an energy and vigor that helps us stay alive and keep fighting.
I understand baby longings! So intense so deep. I encourage you to keep giving it back to the Lord. Sometimes what He has for us is not what we envisioned but it always perfect.
Promise to pray for you this week for health!
Blessings
