Do Over??

I need to a do over today!  It has been one of those days where not much has gone the way I'd like it to.  I woke up late...actually turned off my alarm because I was so tired.  As soon as I got up, I got hit by the day.  I started thinking about all the things I needed to do...clean house, go to the grocery store (I had 2 diapers and none of Parker's milk).  I have a project for church that I've barely started.  I'm getting a little concerned about the money for my trip to Africa...still quite away from being able to pay for it.  And then, if all of that running through my head wasn't enough first thing in the morning - pre-coffee I might add - Parker decided that she is going to push her boundaries and try my patience in every way possible.

Satan definitely knows my weaknesses...taking on too much so I'm too busy and my lack of patience.  I feel like I'm being hit from all sides.  He knows that if I get busy enough I'll neglect my time with God.  He also knows how down I get on myself when I lack patience with Parker.

Now that the grocery shopping is done and Parker has eaten lunch (the absolute most trying time with her is meal time) and is napping, it's time for this mommy to take back control over this day...or rather, relinquish control over to the One who can actually handle it all.

Thank you, Lord, for do overs!
