The only peace that keeps us sane in the midst of the chaos. You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Rest in your faith.Īnd that’s where I am in my journey, struggling to learn how to rest in the chaos. I had offers from various family members to help, but I was so confused I didn’t even know where to start! I was trying to make arrangements to deliver game tickets to twelve different people, get my daughter’s song attire to her at school, pick up six kids from six different locations, meet my daughter at the game by 5:00, and still handle my job responsibilities. We also had tickets to the OKC Thunder game Monday evening because my daughter and her choir were performing the national anthem. Monday, I needed to get my oldest to a surgical follow up at the doctor’s office. This past week has been one for the books. From orthodontist appointments to doctor appointments to eye doctor appointments. From after school activities to weekend activities to school day activities. From basketball to tumbling to choir to quiz bowl to pig shows. I struggle with balancing the day-to-day chauffeuring of children whose social lives are growing and expanding. In the midst of working a full-time job and building a ministry, I spend my days chasing kids across the state, supporting them in all of their activities and pursuits. Now, my life is a non-stop race run at break-neck speeds. Gone are the days of diapers and feedings and household dangers. Today, my house is filled with two teenage boys and a tween daughter. I longed for the days when I could take a deep breath. I focused on every minute danger that my infant daughter might find. I found myself pulling kids off tables and counter tops as I entered a room. I constantly prowled around, watching for my five year old’s stray Lego before my toddler choked on it. My days were filled with diapers and feedings. There was a day when I was the mother of three precious children, all under the age of five.
