My Mood Today

I feel a bit like an overload laundry basket after I have brought the washing in off the line. Yes, it’s clean, but not folded or organised and over full. So I’m trying not to panic and doing one job at a time. It takes work for me to think straight and keep calm in these situations. It takes a lot of relying on the power of prayer, on those constant conversations with God. So how do I feel today? I feel a little overloaded.

My mood is always influenced by the things that are happening around me. It’s probably not the way it should be but I am human after all. I have many things to do and it feels as if there is just not going to be enough time to complete all those things.

Some days I work harder at this than others. I don’t like not being organised and I’m finding that as I get older I am less efficient at juggling all the demands on my time. There are days when I would love to be able to turn back the clock and recapture that ability. It is at this point that God often prompts my memory to remind me of just how stressful my life used to be. He will always as the question “Do you really want to be that stressed again?” and the answer is always “No”.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” but there is never a time to panic, move faster, and run even but not to panic.

I have to remember that God knows what I need to get done, how much time I have available and He will help me to get there one step at a time.
