My mantra the past month or so has been #stressstressstress.
Yes, I actually say "hash tag".
This last weekend was a huge Band Mom undertaking that I am glad to say is over and now I can enjoy the rest of my boys's marching band season. I love helping and organizing all that I do, and yet it has been a nice distraction from my daily life where I am living/working in limbo, not sure what is happening from day to day.
My prayer life is pretty active as it is (I literally went to sleep last night repeating the words "calm the wind, Lord" over and over in my head) - but I wonder if God is like "Woman, I've got this." Which I know He does. But when you are living in the land of unknowns and you like planning be prepared for things, it makes it difficult to be excited for the day ahead.
Being the constant "bearer of bad news" does wear on a person... and I know that some people I speak to over the phone or talk to in person do not think about the fact that I have repeated some of these same words to literally hundreds of people by now, but I am getting weary. I am definitely relying very heavily on the strength that can only come from someone greater than you or I - and that is God.
So as I am trudging through this week, I am looking forward to the weekend where I will have fun being surrounded by marching band goodness... there is a football game Friday night against our hometown rival, then my youngest marches in a parade on Saturday morning and then in the afternoon I get to watch my boys perform at a marching band competition. There will be joy. <3
Have a good week, friends. And remember to pray and support those who have been affected by all of the natural disasters in our world.
