So this is the mess I'm sorting out. Kinda like when you pull out the Christmas lights for the first time in December. You know you were careful when puting them away the year before, because you didn't want to have to untangle them the next year--and yet, when you pull them out, they're all knotted and twisted and exasperating...but if you want to use them, you gotta take time to unravel the mess so you can move forward to hanging them up and making your life sparkly and light again.
I'm unravelling messes I have little control over. I want to control what I can control...like resources and attitude. That's about all I can see right now. And what it comes down to is trying to not freak-out, do what I can to make our home a haven with the resources that I do have, and truly seeking the Spirit as to what is "my part"...and doing my part with wisdom.
That's what it comes down to...another lot of trials in my lap, and sorting them out so that in the end, my home is still a place my family wants to be.
Many thanks to those of you who have offered my name up in prayer. Thank you.
Honestly I think we all have been there a time or two in our lives....I certainly know Im feeling the same way as you described. Hang in thre...things always find a way of working out...we always tend to find a way to get thru these hard times that get put before us....I have a saying on my fridge...."God will not bring us to it if he can't pull us thru it"
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute. Just remember: this too shall pass.
