INSPIRASUNS

Last night, I had one of those, “I ain’t gonna get it all done moments”….. As you know, if you’ve been following me here, we have a very large event happening in just two weeks. I have NO IDEA where the heck the last six months have gone, but all of a sudden I’m staring at a two-week calendar. Um, ok, I guess?

This week I’ve managed to check off some pretty big to-dos from the list which has been great. But given the uncertainty of shipping times and flight issues, etc, you know the things I can’t control, I found myself saying, “Crud, (I actually said something else), I have to ship those boxes TOMORROW!”. I found myself second-guessing my flight arrangements, and yes, I changed them to leave earlier in the day “just in case” something gets canceled or delayed.

I couldn’t focus at dinner, again… My poor husband, who has been INCREDIBLY PATIENT with me, once again had to deal with me being distant and preoccupied. I’ve since made a commitment that I will not let anything come in the way of our time. I have to be in the moment of us. We’ve been together for over 35 years and our relationship deserves 1000%.

I was overwhelmed, exhausted and feeling like I just needed it all to be lifted. Father got an earful last night as I sat out on the lanai before going to bed. He got the dreaded “dump” of emotion. Yes, I made sure that I began my prayer with thanks. Thanks for all the gifts he has provided, and continues to provide to me. But I shared my worries, my anxiety, my anger, and asked him to help me to feel him with me. “Help me Father to stop and ask you for guidance and strength. Show me Father the path to take and ease my anxiousness and worry”.

This morning I feel better. I know that God is there, at all times, but how easy it is to simply slip away from that certainty and feel alone. How easy to get sucked into Satan’s trap of making you feel alone and isolated? Don’t let him do that! Back in your hole Satan, you have no place here!

I also heard something very clear from Father last night, a question I felt in my heart. “Why are you so afraid to ask for prayers?” WHAM…

You all have been so gracious, and so supportive since I started this little blog, (lol, that’s what I’ve dubbed it). Your kind words and encouragement have been incredible and uplifting. God laid on my heart last night, kind of that “hellllooooo, you have a support system, why aren’t you using it?”…….

So today, if you have a moment I simply ask that you say a little prayer for me over the coming days. A prayer for patience, for clarity, and focus as I move into this wonderful event that I dearly love. Help me to feel your strength through prayer and I know that I will be guided to simply Git ‘r Done.

Thank you, Lord for the gift of family and friends, and those that I don’t even know personally who are on this journey with me. May I make you proud by showing your grace in all that I do 🙂

Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
