Since I had my very first child 3 years ago I feel like I have been to a certain extent removed from the world. I went to the dentist today and it's been way to long to mention since i've been. Even though I have extreme anxiety, I'm so glad I went. It feels like I'm "functioning" again. I'm now working for my husband's business, keeping his books on the accounting side. It's nice to be off the hamster wheel of taking care of my daughter, sleeping, cooking cleaning. This cycle gets old; and you welcome a healthy distraction from it. It doesn't mean I'll stop the other stuff. It just means those other things are not my only focus anymore. Even now as I sit here, I need to clean the kitchen really bad, but that's not my only focus anymore. Plus I'm learning that if it really needs to be done it will get done. Thank God for that!
When I begin my day with a fast pace and a mind to "get things done" it really never ends well. I burn out pretty fast. When I take a "rest stop" at the very beginning of my day with God and linger a little, the day always goes better. Micah 7:7 says: Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; My God will hear me. It seems as if when I don't start my day with God a cycle of self-dependence starts and it never ends well. When I start my day with God, dependence on Him starts my day and He reminds me during morning devotional time to lean on Him to get through the day. It helps me to not get "caught up" I pray that for today, that I don't get caught up. Noah is home from school, not feeling very well. I just want to lean on God and trust Him to bring her comfort and help her to heal today. I'm praying that I to would...
