As a fellow single mom and fellow Christian, I can so relate to trying to do it all and convinced I've got this (my whole world) all under control. When seriously, even those who are not single parents and trying to do the double duty - don't truly have it all under control - how can we dare to even suggest that we do, right? But God is good and he is in control; even when we try to take back the reins, you are right, he stands there waiting for us to turn back to him and say: ok, I'm through, I will give it all back to you again, now. I know he just smirks and says, ok, I was hoping you would see that before you made a total mess of things! I can do all things.... but we sometimes leave out the best part of Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

I had to comment. I loved your post. And the neat thing about Jesus? Is that no matter how many times we keep trying to wrest control away from him, he always loves us and forgives us. Doesn't that just boggle the mind? You'd think after 1, 456,665 times, he'd say, "Oh forget it; you are just a pain in the butt." And walk away. But He forgives us time after time after time. What an amazing unconditional love that is. Thanks for the post; we all need to be reminded of that from time to time. I love your blog, and I mostly lurk, but today? I had to comment.

Great post! Yes, my kids want to eat every day and three or four or five times a day too! In a bible study I was in recently we talked about one of our biggest sins is trying to control our lives instead of letting God control it. Who is'nt guilty of that one?? So I think it is great you are going to try to focus more on what is important! Come by and read my Sunday Scripture when you get a chance! :) I will be praying a lot this week! Wow Heather! Great post!

Exactly! I fear I'm adrift too. I seem to have it in this thick head of mine, that I can do better if I just cover my ears, close my eyes, and holler a little tune. See all the problems go away! Until they're big enough to get my attention, and soooo much bigger than they ever needed to be. Me & Drama. We're TIGHT. :) thanks for the lovely post! THAT's my stalkee. She's back! Giggles & hugs, Cathy Oh my dear girl. Exactly! I fear I’m adrift too. I seem to have it in this thick head of mine, that I can do better if I just cover my ears, close my eyes, and holler a little tune. See all the problems go away!
