Joyful Weariness

Joyful weariness.
I heard our pastor mention this phrase during one of his recent sermons. I think it is a phrase that best sums up my state of being right now. Joyful weariness.

I am beyond tired, but it is more than just a physical fatigue…
…it is mental…
…it is emotional…
…I’m given out.

But there is joy in the weariness, for I know it is not in vain. Reminds me of early motherhood. Tired beyond belief, but when I heard my little one cry, I woke instantly and joyfully took care of her needs.

Each morning I wake and look forward to teaching. Such joy!
We are having so much fun in class. My eighth grade class just finished a debate on embryonic stem cell research. As we researched this topic, many issues arose. They are learning to think with a Christian mind. One student voiced a basic truth that became real to her during class, “Mrs. Parker, being a Christian affects every decision you make.” Bingo! I love this class-they are passionate about everything. They add joy to my weariness!

“The joy of the Lord is my strength!”
