It's ok not to get it done

So I'm sitting here thinking of all of the things I should get done.

- practice Piano

- read my book, Do Hard Things (by Alex & Brett Harris)

- Write Twinkle a letter back

- straighten the house

- write a new song

- be creative

etc.. etc... etc.... etc..... etc......

But then I remember...

My mom's in the hospital, she's in pain, but she's trying to relax and make the best of her situation.  And here I am, worrying over all the things that could get done. (that's the perfectionist side of me coming out :-) When I should be counting my blessings, and saying.  "I've been going & going, it's ok for me to take a few minutes out of my busy life & meditate on Gods word, or just sit here & relax."  Why am I worried about all these things & not having enough time to do them, when God knows exactly what I can handle & how much I should be doing today.

So Lord,

Please help me to have faith in you, and know that not everything is going to get done today.  And you care enough for me, to not ever give me too much.  Help me to lay my burdens down at your feet and put aside my earthly desires.  To want to honor, love & serve you instead.

And know that everything is going to be ok, as long as I lean on you, and don't rely on myself.

Thank you for always being there.
