Seasons change and most of the time, I’m not ready. Are you? No matter what I do to put on the brakes, life moves forward.
My kids are back to school. And, once again I’m saying I need a job. A paying job. A real job. Yes, I discredit my job as a mom. I go through this every fall. And every fall, I struggle.
Questions spin around in my mind until I’m mentally exhausted.
Why am I here?
What should I do with my days?
How can I honor God with my time and talents?
How can I effectively invest in my friendships and still tend to my family and home?
Will I ever learn to cook or even like it for that matter?
How can I create balance and a sense of order in my home?
Reading Ecclesiastes 3 reminds me that there is a time for everything. Right now, God is telling me to embrace the season of change once again and rest, knowing He is in control. And as long as I seek Him, He will direct my path–one day at a time.
I need to stop being so busy trying to figure everything out. Maybe I would get more done.
Oh how I can relate to your ponderings here! This is my first year of having all my kids be at school full time. I, too, am asking many of those same questions. When you come up with some answers – blog those too, will you?!
