It took me 45 minutes to drive 13 miles on the 5 last night...ugh I was so frustrated that I just shut down, no talking, no laughing, no loud singing..just driving.
When we arrive at our home @ 6:45.(ugh again) I am quite pleased with myself because I have pre-cooked some chicken wrapped in bacon & all we have to do is make the side dishes & we have dinner!!! WoooHOooo. right????...Not so much.... Yet again I forgot to read the ingredients needed for the risotto. We had used the rest of the olive oil on the "pizza bread" and the risotto called for olive oil to brown the rice, Errrggghhhh Why can't I wrap my head around the simple task of dinner this week??
Later on in the evening Trav made a brilliant observation: I shut down & become silent when I am overwhelmed, where he likes to talk it out & share it with me..
Another thing to add to my list of things to work on:
1. Better meal planning
2. Read directions
3. Share with Travis
4. Ask for help
And that is just this week so far....UGH
Jeremiah 29:11 The Message I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
Philippians 4:8-9
whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Yes, I do notice that you shut down when you get overwhelmed. I think I do, too. I become a hopeless creature whom no one can comfort. Except God, of course. But only if I let Him. And it takes a while before I'm ready to let Him.
I was completely overwhelmed re: Michelle the other day. I shut down. I cried. I felt hopeless. I prayed. I prayed again. Then I went to sleep. I woke the next morning still feeling the weight of it, but I prayed some more and finally was able to let it go and go on with my day, trusting that God, who is much more powerful than I will handle things. That day I found a $1,000.00 error in my favor when I balanced my bank statement. If God can do that for us, surely He can help Michelle too.
Mom
Maybe God can do that for me too:)
I could use the cash!!:)
Yes!!! God is bigger than me, you, Michelle, Rachel, Alicia and everyone...He can handle so much more than we ever could, so just jump in His arms & leave your burdens right there at His feet
Love you mom!
