Right now everything in my life seems up in the air. I’m a planner by nature, so it’s hard for me not to have everything all laid out and know what’s coming.
I do know there is a time and place for everything and I shouldn’t worry….but I do.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I don’t know where we’ll be a few months from now or even a year from now. What I do know is that I need to have trust in the Lord that things will go according to his plan.
Terence and I both work full-time. Terence has a LONG commute every day (about 45 mins each way) We are trying to find a middle ground that makes us both happy. What that middle ground is??? I don’t know yet. I know it probably means moving in the near future and making some changes. I’m not a big fan of moving or change.
At the end of the day what’s most important is family & I want us all to be happy. As of late our daily schedules have taken a toll on both of us and effected our attitudes and happiness. I want to bring joy back into our every day lives. How that will happen? I don’t know yet…
I just know that something has to change and we have to take a leap of faith.
Terence and I are total opposites in the way we plan. He’s a financial planner- I say penny pincher. He’s constantly spread sheeting and planning for the future and retirement. I’m more of a live for today sort of person and it’s only money….blah blah blah. You can’t take it with you. I think we work hard, so it’s okay to have a balance and buy a shirt or dine out occasionally.
Doing what’s best for Connor as he gets ready to start Kindergarten next year. I’d like to be settled before then….no matter where that is. My mind is always torn in two different directions. I feel like I’m living in a temporary time frame and it makes me nervous. I want to please everyone….but sometimes you just can’t.
How do you deal with every day stress? Being a Mom, Wife, and working full-time is rough sometimes…but I’m so thankful for all these rolls.
How do you juggle your every day?
Happy Thursday friends….and thanks for reading and prayers!
Ohhh sweet friend, I love your authenticity and willingness to share what’s on your mind and in your heart. I don’t have any answers, I can only offer my prayers and assurance that no matter where you are, you’ll always be my friend. If you want something to PLAN, I have a boy who turns one in December. I’m thinking of a *Winter ONEderland* theme (all of my Christmas décor is snowmen and snowflakes) and, of course, we’ll need a cake smash photo session for the Little Dude!!!!!
Hugs,
Nicole
Becky – you have to believe that you are worthy of the life you wish to live. Once you whole heatedly believe that, things will start falling into place. You are capable of having the life you want – whatever that may be, but you must take action. Be prepared to make changes and work hard at it every day. Don’t give up when it gets tough and don’t look for the easy way out. Whatever your vision of happiness is takes work. Read Tony Robbins. He’s inspirational and his talks have helped transform my life and happiness completely.
I have not been dealing with my stress well lately – and I’m not even a mom. I am a planner, and have been thrown tons of change. It’s definitely not my favorite and it can be hard to handle. We will make it through this. Here’s to leaning on Him and making it through!
