Priorities, and listening to God’s will. Mar 19 repost

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:21 am by Guertin Family

Ever get to the point that you have so much to do, and you are pulled in so many directions that you barely know which end is up?  Yep, that’s me at the moment, and I need to vent about it so I can try and get it organized.

I went from worrying horribly about our financial situation, to finding something to do to help, to being totally overloaded with projects and assignments that I don’t know which way to turn.  Before taking on alot of these projects, I prayed to God for Him to show me his will, and He did.  And I accepted.  Then I thought, hey, if I just take on more and more stuff to do, I will really be contributing to the family.  So I made some decisions myself.  I took on more and more, hoping to bring in even MORE money for our family.

This has gone totally haywire.  I now have the projects I prayed about, and the ones I didn’t, sitting all around me and I am stuck…stuck with too little time in the day, stuck not being able to spend time with family as much as I like because I have deadlines.  Stuck with stress migraines because I’m afraid I’m going to let someone down.  Just plain STUCK!!!

So, my new lesson this week is learning to go to God with all things, not just some.  Listening to His will in all that I do would have resulted in everything I do being for Him.  If it’s His will, He will let me know.  If it’s not, and I choose to do it anyhow, I have to deal with the consequences.

I think I had better start listening…
