It’s A Monday….AUGH!!!!

Whew!

It’s been a long time since I have been so glad to see a day come to a close.  But today is definitely one of those days where I am so happy to be going to bed.  I am also feeling SO overwhelmed.

Normally around here I guard my Mondays like a mama bear guards her baby cubs.  It’s my recovery and reorganize day.  It is that day that I wipe the proverbial slate clean and start the week fresh with a clean house, washed laundry, meal plans, and all those other little tasks that come with being a wife and mother.  By keeping my Mondays set aside for accomplishing my tasks at home I am able to serve more through out the week and still keep balance on the home front.  It’s the foundation of my week!

But this Monday was different and from the moment my feet hit the floor it was not the normal routine.  While we did get a very important task done, it kept me away from my usual chores.

So here I sit almost in a panic as I wonder how on earth I am going to get through a very busy week.  I don’t have a clue!

And this is when I hear the still, small voice of the Lord whispering to my heart and mind…

….”Exactly, Mandy!  You don’t need to know how, you just need to lean on Me.”

And I am reminded that God knew that today’s “to-do” items would take a whole lot longer than we anticipated.  He  knows what the next few days hold.  He knows what I need to do and what really isn’t as important as I think it is.  And I am going to simply lay down my cares and trust His plans to be best. 

I am simply going to follow.

It makes me hum this song to myself…

And now I am simply going to go to bed and trust God to use this week for His glory.  Even if I feel like I’m chasing my tale all week long.
