Too busy

This morning I woke up before my alarm, in a panic of all the things on my to-do list. Things that are time sensitive, things I could have done last night or earlier in the week. Things I should have done instead of catching up on a tv series that has already run its course. I could have been in my craft room knocking out a project that's due this week instead of playing Trivia Crack. So, you see where I'm going. Time management isn't a huge strength of mine, I get lazy because I'm overwhelmed or because I'm not getting my way (life is funny like that....), which eventually turns into self-induced, major stress.  No excuses from me, I know these things about my character and even though I don't like these qualities about myself, I've never really been able to break the cycle.

Back to this morning. I cut my workout short and snuck into the craft room to tackle a project.  I saw my Jesus Calling book on the shelf and figured "Let's see where I left off." (See how easily I'm distracted?) Granted, after reading the right hand page, I feel that I was in the right place at the right time.  God has a funny way of getting to you. 

Do I believe He has more for me than stress and anxiety over a task list? Absolutely.  Do I believe He can see me through my stresses (being a great mom, wife, employee, friend, foster paperwork....) if I just focus my attention on Him? You bet.

As my mother has told me for years, "Let go and let God."
