Saturday Craft

This past week I decided to take some time off from Pinterest. I found that it was taking up too much of my time. I also wanted to take time to BE crafty. Here is the result:

Stillness

Today I am thankful for the still moments in my life. My still moments come in the early morning on my drive to work and in the late afternoon as I wait for D to come through the door. Lately, still moments at the end of the school day have been few and far between. I have been run ragged between teacher meetings, parent conferences,appointments, and errands. Bouncing from one place to another causes waves of stress to ripple through my mind. The house isn't clean, Moose hasn't been played with, I dont have dinner ready, when was the last time I did laundry....These thoughts slowly consume me without warning. I find that I am a woman who is allowing my lack of control to control me. The Lord in his goodness has reminded me of several things this week. 1- He has specific purposes for me each day. Most likely, they are not apart of my to-do list, and they WILL BE MISSED if I am not watching and waiting for them. 2- Stress can be addicting. In a conversation with my mother-who is always wise- she reminded me that stress can be addicting. Satan enjoys to see us stressed because it takes our mind off of the Lord. 3- I am given enough for today- not tomorrow- just today.
Dear friends rest in HIS goodness today!
