i am in a season of
extreme busyness
for instance
my clock reads 5:59
and i should be
ready for work by 6:20
i have two ballgames
tonight
(did you know
i coach cheerleaders?)
and a pep rally to plan
more ballgames this weekend
extreme busyness
but i think the fever blister
developing on my lip
is more from
the stress of an ever-growing
prayer
list
so. much. need.
cancer
eating disorders
car wrecks
drug addiction
wandering hearts
but
this is the
confidence
we have in approaching
god:
that if we ask
anything
according to his will
he. hears. us.
do you ask or stress?

both. i do both. but i'm learning (at a snail's pace, but still) to ask and wait.
ReplyDeletecheerleaders? did not know :)! Praying that asking would become more of my default than stressing!
ReplyDeleteboth, unfortunately
ReplyDeleteoh friend. i felt tired just reading all of the stuff you have to do... i hope you find rest soon. and i love that you continue to blog, and to teach us. love you. e.
ReplyDeleteGuilty of stressing. But working more toward asking. :)
ReplyDeleteI do both. This past week has been more stressing than asking and God knew this because without me asking...He answered prayers I didn't even know I had today. Amazing how he does that...in a moment's grace :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I ask in stress! This is such a poignant share, because all of us have been there. Thank you for your transparency. I would love to have you share over at our new meme Painting Prose. Hope to see you there!
ReplyDeleteYep. What a great title. The urgent so often robs us of the important... Thanks so much for sharing. I'm glad to have stumbled upon you (well, your blog)!
