We're all tired

I've never met anyone who didn't complain about their level of exhaustion. It seems like everyone is tired these days. I wonder if that's the way it's always been, or if that burden has increased during these hectic, super charged days we live now. I know it's the first complaint you'll hear from my lips, and I've grown weary of it. Even my doctor says it's because I'm a mom with 4 babies. But, I don't know if I believe that anymore. The Lord so incredibly created our bodies. He did only give us one, though. I know the importance of taking care of my soul and how vital it is to my existence. But I horribly neglect taking care of this one body He's loaned to me. I don't get enough sleep, don't drink enough water, don't eat enough produce, don't exercise at all, don't discern what goes in as much as I should. He calls us to be good stewards of everything, not just our finances, personal belongings, or the earth. When I'm tired, my whole home is tired. Everyone can sense the ongoing feeling of energy being drained from their bones. It's contagious. The house gets neglected, the babies get neglected, my man gets neglected, and there's no way I can be a faithful witness to the glories of God when I look like I haven't slept in 4 weeks. I heard a great line in a song the other day; "if you really want to move, you've got to get moving." Simple concept. I'm tired of waiting for some magical instantaneous cure all. I'm not going to stumble into a close relationship with the Lord, a God-glorifying marriage, a deep connection with my babies or a healthy, non-exhausted me. All things worth anything take intentionality. I pray the Lord give me the motivation that only He can give. That's when things will really start to get interesting.
