head above water

it's not very often that i feel overwhelmed...i was goin to say that i have been lately, but i don't really think that's the right word.  more like...i guess i'll just admit it...i'm feeling a bit out of control.  not necessarily in a bad way.  in fact, most of it is good.  truth be told: my priorities are out of whack.  i have let busyness take over.  i am amazed at how many things i have forced myself to say "no" too; yet i'm not sensing a huge weight lifted from my lap.  there's ministry to do, boys to raise, a husband to wife, a house to clean (and hopefully sell), friends to befriend, family to love and with all those waves (as beautiful as many of them are) crashing over me, i feel like i'm being banged up and pulled out by an unrelenting current.  maybe i'll end up in the calm water soon! i know i'm not the only girl dealing with all that and yes, i am also aware that things could be much worse. i am grateful for how i can look at each one of those areas and tangibly see enourmous blessing. soooo...
