Good afternoon to everyone. Grace and Peace be with you.
This morning started out VERY early … 4 am early. I was able to find the coffee pot, my shoes (no keys in them) and my clothes. Then found my wallet and the keys (where they were supposed to be) before leaving to go to the hospital. Today was the day my hubby was going to have surgery on his arm. HOWEVER, I messed up. I gave him medicine that had to be stopped so many days out so as not to mess with the anesthesia. In an attempt to NOT forget anything and keep us on a schedule … I messed up. Therefore, the surgery has to be rescheduled.
I do believe that all things happen for a reason. There is a reason that I messed up. There is a reason that the surgery got cancelled. There is a reason I took a nap after we got back from town. There is a reason that everything happened today the way it did.
Now, I may never know His reasoning specifically; however, I can surmise that the following had something to do with it. First, I had too much on my plate and could not keep things straight. Yes, I have a calendar and all the information that I needed; however, the internal timeline in my brain was not synced with my calendar and paperwork and it all got muddled. This tells me that I really need to NOT take on more than He wants me to have. For me, that will be very difficult. Just saying. Second, this is the last day the family is in town before we put them back on the plane. I believe that God wanted us to have quality time together, not sleepy hospital leftover time.
So this afternoon, after I got up from my nap, I have spent that time with the grandkids, ran a few errands, and rested. My mind is less cluttered with ‘everything’ and I am more at peace. It is amazing what can happen if you trust in Him. He saw that I was overwhelmed. He saw that I was taking on too much. He saw that I needed a time-out. He gave me the break that I needed.
Sometimes we do not realize that we have over tasked ourselves until we are in the middle of a firestorm and are trying to get out without hurting anyone’s feelings and feeling like we can do it all, so we don’t quit. However, we are not designed to take on all the world’s problems alone. We are here to serve Him and to follow His lead. With me, I tend to like to run in front of Him and show him how much I can do…you know … like take on too much and get overwhelmed. For example.
Today, as our day comes to a close, remember to give thanks to Him for all his blessings and his guidance in your firestorm. Take a minute to see where you may have been a tad bit overzealous and try to make a note not to do that again. I, for one, keep trying to not do it; however, I keep trying to be an overachiever. I guess I really want a participation trophy. Haha.
Be blessed.
