I am struggling today with the prospect of going back to work after a vacation, and knowing the impending chaos for my family and the load of stress for me is making it difficult to keep focused on the peace. I find your words and scripture verses to be very encouraging, and it reminds me to turn to God with my anxiety, frustration and stress. Being a full time working mom of two and wife is so overwhelming but I feel like I have some more tools in my box to help me through. Thanks again!Tessa Rnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363247083579931414.post-32133773405491566922011-03-03T12:01:27.973-05:002011-03-03T12:01:27.973-05:00Nice word, so true!

I experienced this just this morning - I was running late getting my son off to school, feeling a little anxious. Then it occurred to me as I was peeling out of the driveway: 1) It's only Kindergarten 2)IT IS WHAT IT IS. So he may be a minute or two late. Just go with it. Stressing out,snapping at the kids, and driving like a maniac isn't going to help *anything*! Plus, I noticed my hubby had fixed the radio, so I flipped on KLOVE, and ended up having a tearfully-blessed drive time listening to some great, timely & relevant music. Blessed are the peacemakers!Kristihttp://www.sonshinensmiles.com/noreply@blogger.com
