Faith for the Messy Unknown

WORN OUT.  I sprawl it in capital letters as the introduction to tonight’s journal entry.  Maybe it’s a desperate prayer or just an open admitting of my current ‘condition’.  I’m sitting cross-legged in a dimly lit hallway, begging our children to hush and go-to-sleep.

We wake up to a broken-down car, again… our crummy old car.  My eyes roll as I listen to the wind crashing through our yard.  What was that?  A garbage can?  I don’t have the energy to check.  These thin walls feel so thick today.  Can you relate, Mom?
