It's me.
Today.
After a week with Rob out of town and a poop ton of volunteering and a 30 hr child filled work week (yes, that's a lot for a supposed stay at home mom)
Frazzled.
Then, unexpectedly, without notice, I de-frazzled.
Phillipians 4:7 says "Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down." (The Message)
So after work and an hours worth of grocery shopping, toddling A and I went to dinner with Dad.. We had to drive separate cars and meet at the restaurant though because...well because, that's our life. But when dinner was finished and we were leaving, I asked my oh so loving husband if he would drive Avery home and let me take his car. He obliged, because he loves me that much.
And that's when it happened.
The windows down, the radio on, traffic cruising at just the right speed, and a sense of God's wholeness blowing through the car, my entire body, coming to settle me down. Out of just a 30 min drive home. I didn't want it to end.
Read this, or you can listen to it here if you want:
"You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God
Of all else I'm letting go"
In your presence I'm made whole. Really. WHOLE. Not, a piece of me is mom, a piece of me is wife, a piece of me is nanny, a piece of me is trying to plan a yard sale, a piece of me is volunteer, a piece of me is captain of my softball team.
In your presence I'm WHOLE.
Not pieces.
I don't know about you, but I need to be made whole. And all we have to do is let God know. Tell him our concerns. Ask him to forgive us, admit we're reckless and burnt out.
And know that He is God.
And then let go.
