I'm finally in bed after a long day of caring for one very sick boy and one just a little sick boy. Micah started showing signs of a stomach virus yesterday afternoon but unfortunately it was just moments before we were getting in the car to drive back home from my parents house. He was such a trooper in the car but it was not a fun trip nonetheless. Today I stayed home from church with the boys and finally after a miracle drug given to us from Leslie he stopped throwing up and finally started to perk up (but just a little).
Micah spent all day laying on the couch watching movies and sleeping, Connor spent all day playing occasionally and being a held a lot, and I spent the day washing tons of bedding, car seat covers, and yucky clothes along with holding and caring for said little boys. Being a worship leader Zach can't really just skip church but he entertained Connor for me this afternoon and loved on the boys tonight so I could have a little break.
Now that I'm laying here, responsibility free for a few hours, I started thinking about how you get sick but then get well again. The lyrics of an Andrew Peterson song popped in my head. It is called All Things New. It's good to know no matter what state we are in we can come to Him and be made new!
All things new
Come battered and bruised
My Jesus makes all things new, all things new
Come lost and abandoned
Come blown by the wind
He’ll bring you back home again, home again
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake,
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake,
He makes all things new
Come frozen with shame
Come burning with guilt
My Jesus, he loves you still, he loves you still
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake,
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake,
He makes all things new
The world was good, the world is fallen,
The world will be redeemed,
The world was good, the world is fallen,
The world will be redeemed
So hold on to the promise
The stories are true
That Jesus makes all things new
The dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake,
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up, oh you sleeper, awake,
He makes all things new
All things new
All things new
