I am trying to psych myself to face this week. I have found that I can handle 'normal', it's when things aren't going to be NORMAL that I start to panic.
Normal for me is school, housework, chores, church 2 times, and everyday wierdness. This week we have 3 extra things added into the mix. Thursday night is 4-H. It will only take an hour and someone else is leading this time, so it should be fun. Thursday I also have to clean church and change out flowers, I really should organize my decorating room (after 10 years the church let me have an unused room to store things in, after 21 years it is FULL.) Then I will call in to Lawrence Co. Courthouse and find out if I have to report for jury duty the next morning, if so I need to bring home a friends dd to babysit. Then that night we have Singspiration at church.
Why does having those three extra things panic me? It shouldn't, I AM A MOTHER! Mothers can handle anything, right? I am also a woman and a human and am learning that I can't handle everything. Oh, I can do ok, but the truth is I am not SUPER-WOMAN.
There is one way I will get to Saturday and feel that this week was 'ok'. I am going to have to take time each day to talk with God and have Him help me know what is important that day and what isn't and let go of what isn't. I don't share well, but this week I have to share my burdens and let joy in instead. Isn't joy the opposite of burden?
Joyfully, Cheryl |
