14 For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. 15 The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship.[f] And by him we cry, “Abba,[g] Father.” 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17 Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
f The Greek word for adoption to sonship is a term referring to the full legal standing of an adopted male heir in Roman culture; also in verse 23.

My day that I am talking about actually started at about 10 pm last night. I tried to go to sleep, but a conversation I had on Facebook last night and I kept having the little voice telling me to get up and make a reply. I finally did, which was the blog about God's unconditional love. More thoughts about God's love and his blessings kept going through my head. I was finally able to go to sleep about 12:30. Then about 5:20 I received a text from Bryan saying he would be sleeping out. I was unable to go back to sleep after that. A good bit of it was due to Callie climbing back and forth on my head from the bed to the headboard. Steven got up about 7. We had a good day, we kept it pretty low profile for the majority of the day. The big fun of our day was going down to Evansville to see Daddy while he was on his break. We were only there about 30 minutes, but we had fun. Steven helped him check tires and then he climbed inside. No nap today and fell asleep a little late, but Steven had a good day. I got some housework done. I tried to start cleaning in the garage, but didn't get very far. The anxiety kicked in and I got overwhelmed. But, I have still been doing so much better. Before I wouldn't even be able to get to the dishes. I haven't eaten that great today and no exercise. I have decided to start walking in the morning before going to the Master's Hands. I am counting on Bev to gripe at me if I don't do it. We will see if I can go to sleep tonight or if God has more in store for me. Next time, I won't try and put it off until morning, I will do it then. Maybe I can get to sleep a little earlier if I do it when God first tells me to do it.
Take Care and God Bless
