I keep waiting for things to slow down. It's definitely a busy season for our family but I'm realizing more and more that life is just busy. There's always something to do. Somewhere to go. What that also means is that every time I'm doing something, something else isn't getting done. It gets easy to see the glass as half full or get overwhelmed.
"I'll never get it all done."
Nope. You won't.
"There just isn't enough time."
Nope. There isn't.
I find myself saying "I can't wait...." (fill in the blank). I can't wait for summer. I can't wait until the month runs out before the money. I can't wait until the girls can do more chores *(ok THAT one I really can't wait for!!).
I'm learning that today won't wait. All I can do is keep on keepin' up.
I'm learning to embrace the now. My girls won't ever be this age again. Ever.
I'm learning maybe I CAN wait.
God is in today. He placed me for the here and now. And where He is, is holy ground.
My circumstances today are holy ground.
"Worrying does not empty tomorrow of it's troubles; it empties today of it's strength."
A little coffee. A lot of Jesus. Remembering the blessings among the chaos of life.

Yeah, I pretty much needed this right now :) I have been really bad about that lately. Mine comes in the form of "Oh I just wish we could fast forward a couple of months. We'd be done worrying about the mortgage refinance, the final inspections, the moving." But then I realize that we will get through it. And we'll be stronger for it.
