Juggling.

Have you ever tried to juggle something?

No, I mean seriously picked up three objects and tried to throw them around in the air catching each one in a continuous motion? It's quite difficult unless you've had practice at it.  Now try 4, or 5. Keeps getting more difficult. You are unable to keep your eye on each object and likely something has fallen by now. 

Same thing goes in life.

Lately, I have been feeling like I am just trying to juggle so much. I have a new baby, I am now a new working mom, I am planning a wedding, I am about to move, and I'm a blogger as well.  A lot of times we pick up different 'matters and things' and we throw them all in the air and try to juggle them all at once.

It brings a lot of frustration as well as stress, energy and time that is unneccessary. You should've seen me yesterday, I woke up late with my mind filled with matters and things that I needed to do and accomplish for the day and this week.  Not once did I take a moment to just think on God, His goodness, and be thankful for another day.  I began my day in the hustle and bustle of life. When I realized what I was doing I had to immediately stop and say "Thank you, Lord!"

 Has this ever been you?

 Mind filled with frivolous things that you must take care of.  Not enough time in the day. 

I have come to realize that everything that I think matters, doesn't always matter to God. I've also had to let myself know that I just can't juggle it all. 

AND that is okay. 

In fact, Jesus doesn't even want us to juggle it all. He wants us to use His power that He's given us on the inside to rule over our lives. Rule over our situations. Reign over our issues. Give Him our cares, and be okay with not knowing where our future may lie.

As women and mothers we find comfort in control. 

Feeling ahead or on top of a situation makes you feel like you are in charge of the outcome. But, how can God get the glory if we are putting our hands on everything? I'm convinced a lot of times when we are so involved in everything, getting frustrated, stressed and wasting energy - it doesn't come out as beautifully as it could have if we would have followed God's lead on how to handle it. 

For Example- I always ask God to lead me when I am writing about Him on my blog. When there are times that I am forcing my writing, it never is as beautiful as when I let Him just lead me. I have had many people tell me that they believe things I have written were for them. Do you know how amazing that is to me? To know that God gave me a topic and it was written for one of my awesome readers! I want that result each and every time.

So be led. Don't just go. 

Don't force anything.

Don't get caught up in the matters and things of life. Instead get caught up in the creator. 

Let Him guide your steps, your walk, your way and you will get there right on time. With God on your side you can accomplish anything. 

Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
