Tonight the girls had a hard time settling down for bed. I sat out in the hall and read my new book while they were in there goofing off. I started getting irritated because I just wanted to sit and read and have some time in stillness.
It was one of those overly exhausted nights where nothing helped calm their restless spirits and they were delaying going to bed. But I was delaying as well. I knew I needed to go in there. I didn't want to put my book down. But I did.
I went in and sat on the floor and told them just to listen, not talk while I read God's Word. He would help them be still. By the time I had finished Psalm 119, they had fallen fast asleep. I came across a verse I kept reading over and over again and realized it was stillness to MY SOUL. I had no idea I would be the one to walk out needing a little pep talk.
Psalm 119:59-60
I have considered my ways and I have turned my steps to Your statutes. I will hasten and not delay to obey Your commands.
I know God wants me to consider my ways and always choose His ways over my own, and that I would be quick to do it.

Hi Kelly! You are the third mom of three girls that I have come in contact with in the past two days through the LPM blog (but the first with the same name and blog background!). Will look forward to staying in touch and praying for you! How old are your girls?
