A phrase that is becoming all so familiar with C.J. is that Daddy will be gone all day. After getting home real late last night, actually it was this morning, Daddy had to be up and at it all over again. Today was our Pastor's 3rd anniversary, which meant we would be in church all day long. Mommy had already made the intelligent decision to stay home with C.J. The long day, after the long night, would just be too much for her to handle.
So like on any day when Daddy has to go, and his girls get to sleep in, Daddy tried to get as much sleep as he could. Getting out of the bed at 7am, turned to 7:30am, then to 8:00am and then finally 8:30am. I am worn out and have to work late some nights this week, too. As I get older my body can't rebound like it once did. There were times where I only needed two to three hours of sleep and could be fully charged. If I tried that now I probably would be on truck number four from crashing them due to me dozing off.
Pastor MP3 made a statement tonight about how he thanks God that his daughter understands that sometimes Daddy is tired and they will have to do different things another day. He also mentioned to everyone how he is grateful for a wife that is home taking great care of her, which allows him to be able to put 100% into ministry when it is needed. Well I know exactly how he feels. I pray that my daughter will understand the calling on my life when she comes of age. I pray that God fixes her heart not to hurt when those next times have to come, and when Daddy can not play like she wants him too because he is exhausted. I am thankful because he blessed me with a wonderful woman who is capable of holding the family down when Daddy has to be off and running.
These past two weeks have brought me to this point but I am back to trying to lessen my load. I have recognized that I am tired and I have to begin my steps to recovery. I had it down packed previously, and I will get my MoJo back. You all pray for me and I will do the same for you. We know prayer changes things, people, and situations.
NOTE TO C.J.: Daddy's goal is to write every night. Sometimes I am not able to because I am worn out. Trust your Daddy when I tell you this, your body needs rest to operate at its optimal level. Love you a bunch Princess!
