| 0:00.0 | Hey friends, thanks for joining me today on the Heaven in Your Home podcast. |
| 0:10.6 | Today we're going to talk about what to do if you are a mom and a wife who is just too tired for sex, too tired for the connection, and too worn out by the |
| 0:24.3 | thought that it's just another need that I need to fill. I've heard all of that, and we're going to |
| 0:29.8 | address that. I'm going to share with you some stories that I've heard other moms share with me, |
| 0:34.5 | and we are going to hopefully uncover some inspiration that helps us break through |
| 0:39.5 | the exhaustion with new ways of thinking and new ways of living. Let's start with a word of prayer. |
| 0:45.3 | Father, thank you for the gift of communication, the gift of airways, the gift of being |
| 0:50.8 | disciples in so many different ways. Thank you for teaching me. And I pray, |

| 1:39.6 | Like needs are constant day and night. I get it. I have a one-year-old. Praise the Lord, he's sleeping through |
| 1:46.5 | the night at the moment. But you know what? Even with six people, somebody's got an ear infection, |
| 1:51.2 | somebody's got leg aches, somebody's got a bad dream, somebody's got a wet bed. It's like still |
| 1:56.2 | the gamut of needs, day and night. I get the tiredness that comes from deadlines, work commitments, |
| 2:03.3 | over commitments. There was a season where I had three little ones and I was in grad school. |
| 2:08.8 | My husband was traveling. We've had all sorts of stages and seasons of being stretched then. |
