I was pretty scared of this past week. With so little sleep and so much illness since Oct -- or Sept (or
July), a week on my own with the boys sounded overwhelming. Plenty of family and friends would like to help, but they live hours away or have young kids of their own.
So I was especially touched when several different friends reached out to help me last week - babysitting so I could nap or run errands or offering to run my errands. Over the years, I've seen God work through our church community again and again, but never more so than these years with babies. And thank the Lord we got healthy just before Josh left and stayed healthy till the day after he returned. So I was able to enjoy a week not-quite-alone with our precious boys.
