Worry-free Weekend

From the Pages of My Journal· Slider Posts

ps 90.2Lately, I have had overloaded days and an overloaded heart. I drag those worries from one day to the next, like a too-heavy kitchen trash bag—leaking, funky, heavy. So this is me, preaching to myself. An Rx for a worry-free weekend [tweetthis]An Rx for a worry-free weekend…[/tweetthis]:

Today, simplify your to-do list.

Quiet your busy mind.

Turn from the relentless (and ineffective) management of your time. [tweetthis]Turn from the relentless (and ineffective) management of your time.[/tweetthis]

Instead, dwell on His majesty, His great works.

Try to wrap your mind around distant stars and vast, rolling oceans. Sweet cuddly babies and wise, kind elders. Your own soft breath and faithful heartbeat. The wind, the rain, the sunshine. Glossy green grass, flouncing fragrant flowers, and the tallest trees. Animals that are ferocious or docile, carefree or diligent, humble or proud…don’t they remind you of us?

GLORY DUE HIS NAME

Wrap your mind around the idea of Yahweh, who never changes and is steadfast in His loving pursuit of us. He is Almighty and powerful, yet He came down to earth to rescue a stubborn and undeserving people. We are compelled to give Him the glory due His name (Psalm 29:2). [tweetthis]We are compelled to give Him the glory due His name (Psalm 29:2)[/tweetthis]

When the first day of school is also the day your When the first day of school is also the day your firstborn drives herself to college, it’s a lot. We moved her stuff into her dorm last week. Today she got up early to say goodbye to Dad (too early! Not pictured 😂), her brother, her doggo, her piano, and her momma. Before she left, she made blueberry scones to share with her little bro @sjoshlafont —they homeschool and relocated together, went to @westminsteroakmtn together, and have shared a love of music, Legos, superheroes (and villains), Transformers, and so much more. She played my favorite song. She even made banana bread to bring to her new roomie. @graciethenerd You are my little nut brown hare, and I love you to the moon and back. Auburn University is a better place because you are there! ❤️

Also, so grateful for the wonderful school where she spent the last four years—the perfect place to land after years of homeschooling on the move. “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” (Ps 100:5) #curatingthegood #graduated🎓 #wisebeyondheryears @graciethenerd @lafonte04 @westminsteroakmtn
