One Minute At A Time

Well, my children are officially back in school.  They started on Thursday of last week.  However, the days prior to were somewhat chaotic.  And just when I thought things would settle down for a bit, they decided to get crazy again.

Add to that a toothache.  I have never had a toothache before that I can recall.  I've had sensitive teeth but not a toothache.  Started hurting off and on Wednesday and by Thursday evening it was really hurting.  Called the dentist. They put me on antibiotic, pain medication, and on their waiting list. I have no idea how long that list is.  I hope it isn't too long because this now dull ache is starting to get on my nerves.  Literally.

This week is going to be packed with craziness.  Maybe I was dreaming when I thought I was going to get to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee without any interruptions once the kids started back to school.  And that morning walk I've wanted to start taking - just me and God, enjoying one another's company and His creation, well I sure hope I'll be able to get that started fairly soon.

I could certainly get overwhelmed with all the craziness.  But what good would that do me? These are the times when I have to constantly remind myself to just take one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one day at a time. God is in today and He's already in tomorrow and the next day and the day after that working things out.  I just need to stay out of His way, and do what I know He wants me to do right now.  It's a lot less complicated that way.

I hope that you take time to really enjoy some special moments in your day. And keep in mind that no matter how crazy and cloudy your day may seem, there is always, 

Sunshine After the Storm
Blessings!
