How on earth did we get here?! Why does time seem to go so slow, but looking back, seem so fast? It's weird. We just got back from an amazing vacation in the Outer Banks with friends and we had a BLAST! We can't wait to go back and have already started a countdown for next year. We all had a tremendously amazing Spring Break and all had a hard time getting back to the normal school routine.
I dropped the boys off at school this morning and immediately started thinking about what I had to accomplish at home: unpacking, cleaning, laundry, just getting life back in order. There's a TON to do and definitely not enough time to do it. I sat down to check emails, do some bills, and put in a food order and I thought to myself, "I should read a quick devotional before I begin this day."
When I read the devotional it was on Colossians 3 about keeping our mind and focus on things above. How appropriate for this day. Here I am, so focused on things in this house, already getting overwhelmed. I need to readjust my focus.
I'll admit it's a bit difficult because there is so much to do, but it will be better for me if I put my focus on God. So Jesus, please help with that!
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for blessing us with our trip. Thank you for good health, money, and fun. Thank you for everything this past week. Please help me keep my focus on You today as we get readjusted to post vacation life. Help me focus on You and keep my eyes on things above as I tackle the things of this house. Help me to prioritize appropriately. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
