Sunday nights are usually filled with anxiety for me. Stressed about going back to work and leaving the kids. Just plain thinking about all of the stuff that surrounds the week can sometimes be daunting. So as a ritual of sorts, I don't sleep much around the first of the week.
I am a planner to a fault. Changes don't come easy. So when my aunt comes to my house this morning to watch the kids and wants me to bring the kids to her house instead. I get more nervous, just more stuff to do. Wake them, dress them, pack toys.... UGH. I knew my assistant would be gone in the morning and a Dr's appointment for the kids in the noon of after. Already, a busy day, so adding to the stress of what had to be done.
As I finally made it to work, my poor trusty assistant is writhing in pain due to an unknown condition at this time. She's off to the Dr and probably out of the office for a while. Rescheduled the Dr's appt for the kids.
I know that all of these are little things. But, I get a bit off kilter. I rescheduled the other appointments I had this week to anticipate my assistants absence. As I rescheduled one, the person on the other end of the phone said.... " Ya know, God's just saying he's in this too"
Peace just overwhelmed me. Yes, she is right. VERY RIGHT. Here I am AGAIN trying to make MY plans.
God has other plans for me.
I need to lighten up a lot. Open my heart and mind to what God wants me to do. God bless the woman on the other end of the phone today.
