Whiney Butt

This weekend life hit me. I have such a full plate and am having a hard time handling it.

This is just a quick glance at what I'm dealing with:

I have two little kids who miss their dad terribly. So they are both being extra clingy and whiney. I miss Andrew like crazy too. Packing. My Pampered Chef stuff. Getting a wisdom tooth pulled. Taking Happy to the Vet... Again! (We went Saturday to get a fish hook that was stuck removed.... Don't ask) plus the regular cleaning and cooking and taking care of the house. Andrew bought a trailer so now I will need to go get that titled and what not. Getting our address changed on everything! All utilities scheduled to be off or out of our name. PACKING etc....

This weekend everything just hit me and it hit me hard. I felt like everything was dependent on me and I have no room for error. I decided to try to relax and just enjoy the weekend. I took the kids to see Planes and it helped some. It was a really cute movie! Then it was back home and back to reality. I seriously can't even talk on the phone without the kids climbing all over me or needing some attention. I just felt like I can't do it all, at least not by myself. 

You know what? I don't have to!

Tonight I realized something.... I am trying to do it my way and well... It isn't working. I had forgotten one HUGE thing: I am never alone. God always helps me through each situation. I quickly found a few verses that really gave me peace. 

The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him. Psalm 28:7

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phil 4:13

And my favorite

But they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

See! I don't have to face the day alone! God gives me strength and help! I just have to ask and accept it (Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking him with a thankful heart. Philippians 4:6)

 I am feeling so much better. I am ready to face the day tomorrow not alone and not as a whiney butt, but with God and joyfully! Thanking Him for the strength and all the blessings He gives to me!
