Tired today. . . .

   I am not sure what is the matter with me lately.  I had two issues at work with clients that needed to be resolved as soon as possible.  They really have been wearing on my mind.  I prayed about it on the way to work today because one of these issues was rsolved yesterday, yet another had to be resolved soon.  I was anxious because I didn't see a way to resolve the issues except to bring all parties to the table to try and hash out an answer.

   We met for about an hour and a half this morning and the issue has been resolved, at least I  hope it has been.  We will continue to monitor the situation.  I came home and took a nap because I felt physically beat down after 3 hours of CFT meetings in less than a day (Child and Family Team Meetings).  Not to mention that though I have been working in mental health for about 3.5 years now, out of home placements are not my specialty.  At least I do not yet have the experience with it that I do with some other situations.  That's okay, but it is an area that I am growing in and learning about.

   But, the fatigue that I have felt is not new.  And it is not related to my diabetes as some who know me might assume.  My blood sugars have actually been really good.  I can only describe it as feeling like I need spiritual renewal and refreshment.  The fatigue really isn't physical, but it feels spiritual and emotional. 

   So, I am trying to spend more time in prayer and in the Word and in meditation.  And I am grateful that my prayer this morning was answered and the issue is resolved.  I'm glad that I don't have to feel at my best or at my closest to God for him to  hear me.  I just need to have the faith that though he may be silent he is still concerned about what I am going through.

   Thank God that He answers prayers and hears us when we cry out to Him.
