there is a plan...right?

i have to say that i am feeling a bit overwhelmed today.  maybe overwhelmed isn't the exact word i want to use...maybe it should be more out of balance or frenzied or organized chaos.

today is nathan's birthday (happy birthday honey!!!) and we have done some little things before because today was going to be just too busy.  we're getting ready to have company over for the weekend--where i won't be here because of a work planning retreat, strings camp and swimming lessons are everyday this week for carter--which means i am taxi extraordinare and cheerleader for those events, three of the four of us are fighting head colds, tons of extra things for work this week with getting some basics ready for that retreat and as we are leading into fall kickoff and in the start of new series, my extra part time work has been rewarding, but time consuming in the evenings after the boys are in bed.  wedding to go to friday evening, getting 'welcome home' things in order for friends and family that are both coming back on friday.  we won't even mention cleaning or bills or errands and the stuff that just needs to get done anyway.

i sat at the computer realizing how precious my few minutes was this morning to do my devotional.  if there wasn't the reminder that God has a purpose for all this rush, i think i'd lose my mind or burst out into a teary mess.  thank goodness He has a plan--i'm hanging on to it for dear life!
