WHAT IS THE “BEHIND THE SCENES” LINK UP?
Social media and online relationships can make us feel like everyone else has it all together. We’re edited, proof-read, Pinterest-perfect versions of ourselves (or so some might think!) when – in reality? There is an unfinished pile of laundry around the corner. That cute toddler smiling for the camera just had a massive meltdown seconds ago. That yummy breakfast-for-dinner you just showed us on Instagram? It’s because the cat licked the chicken that was supposed to be for dinner. 
Oh friends. You’ll have to forgive me this week. I’ve just rocked a very sad, teething toddler to sleep and have a feeling we have a long night ahead of us. I know so many of you will get it when I confess to saying a little prayer over her crib that the pain would be mine, or that I would have some wisdom about what to do for her.
Since I know several of you plan your link up posts in advance, I didn’t want to leave you hanging! The linky is still ready for you to join up with your beautiful photos & stories. And I’ll be back next week with a photo & a story of my own (this is what I get for waiting until the last minute every week!). I may not comment on every post that you share, but I do read them and love your words so much. It’s humbling that you join me here.
Those teething nights are some of the hardest. I’m praying for both of you!
Praying for your little girlie (and the whole house!) Those teething times… how they are hard on a Mama’s heart… praying relief and rest for all of you!
Saying prayers for you and her this morning.
Oh, friend…I’m sorry your little one isn’t feeling well. Prayers that she’s back to normal and full of joy and energy again soon! Wishing you some extra sunshine today…(((hugs))).
Crystal… Oh praying for her and for you. Hoping the teething ends quickly and that your sweet girl is back to her normal happy self.
Dear Crystal
Thank you for just being so real and honest! Praying for your little one. I suffer from Fm/ CFS and it is at times very debillitating and disabling. Even though I have learned to live deeply in our Lord Jesus through this all, at times I also feel that I cannot face one more day! And then I just crawl deeper into our Pappa God to receive that extra portion of grace and mercy. That is why I appreciate your words so very much today. God remembers that we are just made of dust, but we sometimes (trying to give the impression, perhaps) forget.
Much love to you XX
