Running on Fullness

April 2, 2013 · Leave a Comment

Generally I do not like to be super busy. I can get easily overwhelmed when I am pulled in several directions. When I get easily overwhelmed I lose patience, sleep, don’t eat as healthy, and I am a little cranky. OK, a lot!

This has definitely been an area I have struggled with and God has given me lots of grace and so has my husband! However, over the years, especially the last two, I have been really working on this flaw of mine. Flaw of crankiness and not saying no. I let go of lots of projects and focused on being a mom, a wife, a preschool teacher, and student of God. I am intentional about my bible studies so I can be in the word consistently and for me time.

The last few months though, the busyness and fullness has come back. All the demands of being a mom, housework, working, volunteer duties, and more have started to take over again after I have taken on a few projects that I was not planning to do. However, this time I knew it was God. He was showing me I can do this without pulling my hair out and screaming at my husband. I can be a mom and teach their little hearts and minds while making 500 copies for school. I can keep a somewhat organized home while constantly being on the go to school, work, t-ball, PTO, and oh yeah groceries. {{this girl has to eat or that is even more crankiness!!}} He showed me I can do this for one reason.

His timing. His strength. I have grown.

Busyness gets in the way of our relationships. It messes with our connectedness to our family, friends, and most important God. Busyness makes us lose focus on the things we care most about. So in the midst of your busyness, thank God for the little things. Be intentional with your relationships.

So my dear friends, I am so sorry if I have neglected you, taken a week to respond to a text, missed play dates, and just sadly have not been intentional. I have been overwhelmed and well God is teaching me a little more again. Sometimes the busyness and quietness all at once is to grab our attention for teachable moments.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

The most important lesson I am learning during this fullness.

No one is “too busy” in this world, it’s all about the priorities.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Riding horses, horse and rainbow cake, family time, pizza, and this adorable Chalkola Chalkboard. I am not an artist but the Chalkola brand chalk […]

His Love

This world is full of sorrow and suffering and death. But thankfully, this world isn’t it for us. Because of God’s greatest gift of salvation, we have the hope of the world to come, where there is no suffering and peace surpasses everything.  The storms that are raging and crashing all around us….will stop. That sickness […]
