Yesterday I returned to work after a long weekend, (well longer than planned), away. You can check yesterday’s little blog for more about the longer-than-planned part 🙂 . As happens with everyone I suppose, my first day back, ya it kind of flew by.
As I made my way through the day checking things off my list, and actually creating new lists I began to realize that the summer was almost over. Kids are heading back to school, our fall education and music programs are just around the corner, and all the preparation for these activities is in full swing. I may have started to wig out just a bit yesterday afternoon as I realized the month of August was going to be gone in a flash.
This morning I started to think about the to-do list I wrote before leaving last night. I realized the many things I had left off of it, and the anxiousness started in again. Then, I stopped myself and thought about several of these little blogs I’ve written lately. I’ve been telling you all that we are stronger than we think, we have Father with us and just believe in ourselves. They aren’t just words that I type here, it’s what I believe. So, I told myself, get on with getting things done.
I’ll head to work and do what I’ve done for most of my career, refocus, reorganize, and prioritize. I’ve been known to have those large flip chart pages pasted on my walls if needed. I don’t anticipate that today, but you never know 🙂 . I’ll push satan back out of my head, along with his thoughts of being overwhelmed, and I’ll ask Father to guide me just as I encourage you to do each day.
I think this morning I needed a nudge and reminder from Father to make sure I’m living the words that I put here each day, to walk the talk. Thank you Lord for the reminder that you are always here, I can do anything with you by my side.
Have a great day my friends, and remember, you are stronger than you know, Father is always with us, and yes, believe in yourself! Not just words, it’s what I truly believe 🙂 .
Continued prayers lifted for you Emily Rea. Father, bring this sweet child home.
Philippians 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.
