Monday Morning Madness

Unpainted walls.  Dishes piled high.  Rotten fruit.  Something smelly in the fridge.  Phone calls.  Christmas decorations packed, but not put away.  4 hungry children.  Speech Therapy.  Grocery shopping.  Bills.  A looming CPR class.  Ballet recital.  Gold and silver glitter sprinkled throughout the house.  Schoolwork.  Tired kids arguing over silliness.

Monday morning.

Where did the weekend go?  How did I not get things put back in order?

Overwhelming...Numb to the joy that awaits this new day.

I have pledged to do the Important, not the Urgent.  "What next, Lord? How do I live it?"

 He whispers faintly...pray...rest...Yes, that is the important.  The most important AND the most urgent right now.  Grace.  Grace for this moment, each moment today.  Jesus wants to touch every part of this day.

My to-do list did not get done.  Grace happened.  Not perfection, but Grace.  God was glorified.  Everything felt dark...I ran to Him.  Light came.


Fearless:  When the to-do list dares to steal my joy...when I hear, "there is no way you can get it all done!"....stop, pray, surrender. There is a new courage as I rest in Him, One who can order it all.  No more taking back.  Just sweet surrender.

I can learn alot from other people 5. Listening is the best form of counseling...my response can be prayer! As the Lord began to challenge me with this, I began asking to help me with questions to ask people... In the hot tub that afternoon I met an amazing missionary woman who began asking me about my kiddos. Not only did she ask me about their ages, but she also asked what each of their personalities were like. I had to really think about that question. She was genuinely interested in me and it felt amazing! This is going to take alot of effort, but through the power of the Holy Spirit it can be done! I am trusting that this will change my relationships,  even with my...

Quote of the Week

On Sunday afternoon I had the kids doing some chores to get ready to leave for Arizona. Zeke, my eight year old, said to me, “Mom, could you write down a list for me so that I can cross things off?” Haha! I love it, a child after my own heart. Our, at least another one that I’ve passed my sickness down to!  Thank you, Jesus, for these glimpses that you’re helping me raise my kids to be competent adults. Momming with Sparkle,  Heather
