A Little Craziness and Lots of Thanks

But I trust in your faithful love, Lord.    I will be happy when you save me.Psalm 13:5

I needed this morning's devotion. The first two lines were:

"When many things seem to be going wrong, trust me. When your life feels increasingly out of control, thank me."

My life feels just a little bit out of control! My week has been hectic (to say the least) and I felt as if I was rushing back and forth all day, hurried along to meet deadlines and appointment times, and not much time was spent to just breathe.

Last night I found myself complaining to hubby about how the next 10 weeks were going to be craziness at work.

Now, I'm known for crazy. I love the busyness of work and the tight schedule. I like to be doing something at all times and to know that I'm working for a reason. But, I also like those moments of clarity and moments to myself. They seem to be absent in this new schedule of mine. And when I do get a lovely one I feel like there is always something else to squeeze in.

So I'm changing perspective. God wants me to thank Him for the "out of control" in my life. He wants me to go to Him when life feels all out of whack. I think the change of pace and mindset will bring me to a better place and I will be able to tackle the rest of my day (or at least a few more hours until I need to thank Him again).

So I've decided to use my moments of clarity and "breathers" to thank Him. I want to put everything into perspective and to go to God when life feels crazy and to take a moment to allow Him to change my perspective and show me that I can do this.

Always give thanks to God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20
