Well, I have my weekly "To-Do" list that I make every week containing the tasks and projects I hope to have completed by Sunday evening before I make the next week's list. This list includes laundry, ironing, cleaning, errands and such. Then I have both a Kroger's list AND a Wal-Mart list since I am trying to save a little money here and there (literally!). And I was wondering this morning if I shouldn't try to have a Sam's Club list since I have found that is the best place to buy the baby's formula. I also have a list of things I need to do before the first recital performance this evening, which includes a sub-list of things I need to make sure that I remember to pack. For example, I wrote that I needed to charge the camera batteries, but I also wrote down that I needed to remember to PACK the cameras. I mean what good will it be to have the batteries charged and in the cameras if we leave the cameras at home?
Is your mind swimming yet? Sometimes, I think in our efforts to simplify and organize our lives, we just make them more complicated. Amen?
This morning I had a special gift from my God, a great, simple, uncomplicated 30 minutes with Him. I made the coffee and sat still. He kept my girls asleep and just reminded me of what I really needed to remember- He is God. Thank you Lord, for gently putting things in perspective this morning. I needed that. And I trust Him to help me prioritize all those things I "must" remember today. If I keep my focus upon Him, my lists won't run my day. He will.
Let me encourage you to be still and know that He IS God.
