Give your stress wings and let it fly away

So in the last two weeks I believe I filled up my "stress bucket" beyond capacity..enough for the next year...well honestly the next five years. Sometimes I sit back in amazement of just how much strength can arise from within. Its that endurance that we all have. I think it likes to hide though and be used very sparingly.

So I suggest to anyone...do not try to move in a three day time period. Caution doing this with four children...and also 8 dogs can be very dangerous to the sanity of anyone! Plus do not try moving when in the middle of a high demanding anatomy college class and a job. I do not put all of these things for a pity party but just a way to see a small glimpse of my overloading plate. I think I am wearing way to many hats. The areas that I want to see thrive in my life: my childrens needs and ability to experience special moments, the childrens church ministry, and enchaning the lives of my foster children...seem to keep taking a back seat. I do not do this purposely, it seems to happen automatically to keep my head above water. Today I woke up after an evening where my husband suddenly came to his senses that we are way over our heads and an idea such as taking a day to go play in the snow...may not be able to work when everything around us is in chaos. And I just let my mind go to a place where I can think...you go girl...some may think you are nuts and need to slow down...( i admit I AGREE) but all and all Im pretty proud of whats been accomplished in this incomprehendable notice we were given. So stress...fly away. And even if you are there you shall be ignored. :)
