A Temporal Epiphany...

Ok, so do you ever find that the amount of things you have to get done compared to the time you have in your day don't seem to line up? This has been my problem for a while now, and up until now the more I stressed about what I wasn't getting done, the less I seemed to get done! Now I have to say that I try to live in a "worry-free zone", but time management seems to be that thorn in my flesh that I can never quite get over. As of Sunday though, with the Holy Spirit leading the way, I have started to worry less about it.
It all started with reading an article in a magazine that my mother sent me. Someone was writing about my life! Well, ok, it wasn't MY life, but it could have been! Everything she said seemed to make sense. Now I would like to say that many people including my mother have over time probably said the exact same things, but who listens to their mother anyway right? Well, it just so happens that after praying and praying for God to help me, He did (I guess I was finally ready to listen). It's all about prioritizing. Not everything can get done in one day, so do the most important thing first and so on. An example: 1. Spend time with God. 2. Take care of your families needs, like hugs and food and such. 3. School work. 4. Housecleaning.
Now I know that this list looks easy, but in practice it's hard! Trying to hug your kid while looking at all the crumbs on the carpet is tough! Or reading the bible when there are dishes to wash.
I know that I will still have days like before, today was one of them, but you know what the difference was? I didn't let today's downs, get me down! I was in God's hands and everything was ok. When I started to worry that I hadn't done enough, God reminded me of what I did do, and to my surprise it was quite a lot.
