Todays Devotion...How fitting

So the devotion in my book that I decided to read today is entitled "One-Woman Juggler" HAHA So fitting isnt it! Often times, being a military wife, I find myself playing the role of single mother...That is, both mother and father....It talks about how things seem to get out of control, or rather, I get out of control. As I read it, I felt like it was my story. She tells of how she would wake up in the morning "dreading to face the new day and my seemingly endless chores and duties" WOW...Is she in my head? I never want to wake up in the mornings. I hate the mornings. For me, waking up is just another one of my CHORES! Her prayer time was suffering because of this, and for me, my prayer time is sporatic and very seldom happens in the mornings. I feel overwhelmed with my daily responsibilities. I am so worried that I will forget an appointment, or forget something important for the kids that they need at school, but you know what I do...I take on MORE... She speaks about how she decided to start taking "One Day at a Time"... truly... She started writing down what she needed to do for just that day. It was just so CRAZY to find the devotional today to be JUST what I needed. God has a way of doing that though. SO, my goal for the rest of this deployment, and hopefully the rest of my life!, is to take it one day at a time. I spend too much time stressing about EVERYTHING that needs to get done. So me and my post its (I am a post it JUNKIE) are going to get close and make a list each morning, after Ive spent a little time in prayer thanking God for the beautiful day he has given me (and maybe after asking Him to help me see the beauty in a morning :).

Reflective scripture for this is Ecclesiastes 2:17-26
