Yes, I am playing "Nurse Mommy" today. My dks had a dentist appointment this morning, but woke up with 100+ degree temps. They weren't feeling up to par yesterday either, so come sick days in our home. I don't enjoy my children being sick, but today I don't have to have my teacher hat on.
How many hats do you have? I feel sometimes that I have way too many! Mom, wife, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, aunt, chef, teacher, maid, singer, small group member,
church member, spiritual leader, spiritual mentor, coop assistant, choir "secretary", my husband's secretary, childcare worker, etc.
Whew! I get tired thinking about all those things. I have been praying lately that God show me the things to keep and the things to let go. Somehow, my plate is completely full, or actually running over. I know His burden is easy and light, but I know some of my "burdens" I took on without getting His opinion! I march on, knowing that keeping my word is what I have to do in some situations. Others, I have the ability to either drop completely or cut back on my commitment to them.
Anyway, Life is life, but is so much better when we let God order our steps. When we order them, we can become weighted down. When He orders them, we can walk in freedom, run in freedom, dance in freedom. Lord, I long to walk in only the steps you have ordered!
