I will not long for something different

I feel it coming.



The weighed down feeling of a crazy busy weekend that seems to keep getting more and more piled on to it. Where is the margin in this weekend? It's needed and right now I can't see it.

*A possible trip to the doctor's office for a sick child.
*A HUGE church meeting we can not miss!
*Grocery shopping... it's dire!
*Just scheduled first softball practice for tomorrow morning
*Church service and serve a service
*2 birthday parties
*Church Small Group we can't miss cause we are in charge of bringing dinner

There has to be something else I am missing here. Oh yes... getting everything together for next week's lessons and school period today.

Lord, I need your help! I know you aren't giving me more than I can handle right, but instead of looking forward to the weekend and a day of rest, I feel like everything is spirally crazy into too busy. With so many other things weighing down on me right now too about all you are working on for our future, help me not to lose focus and stop me from trying to take over. I know what you are teaching me here and I promise not to be longing for a past time or place. You are in control and have it all planned out. I have peace in that. I don't need to stress about a thing. Repeat those words to my heart as I get up to tackle the rest that today has to offer. "You will provide a way." in all the areas you know are facing our family right now. 

Thank you Lord for your provisions and help. 

Sincerely,
Your crazy child who is trying not to lose control by taking over the steering wheel. 

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23
