Oh, Janice, we are so alike in many ways! I find myself doing the same thing- rushing or getting anxious about things when they really don’t matter all that much in the end. I take lots of deep breaths and talk to the Lord, asking Him to just help me let those things go, and remember He’s driving and everything is going to be ok.

Janice, this was such a timely post for me to read today. I’ve been rushing more than normal this whole summer as I’m trying to start a new business and keep up with life. I’ve got some repenting to do as well.

What has helped me? When I read something (usually a blog) by someone else who has realized they need to slow down… Thank you for the reminder!

I tend to rush around and work on “my agenda” and sometimes forget that my 2 year old daughter is learning and growing right along side me. When I take a break from ‘me’, breath and allow myself to stop focusing on a task list, we move at a toddler’s pace and enjoy so much beauty. It’s hard to let go of the control and it’s hard to stop and get down at a toddler level, but by golly — it sure makes for a less stressful day!

THANK YOU for writing about this. Since becoming a blogging mommy, I’ve been faced with more tragic news of other mommies and families - I’ve never had to face in our sheltered little world. It makes you think - it scares the heck out of me - it unfortunately, has a way of putting things into perspective. I just wish it didn’t take instances like those to make me think. Now - how do you find the balance between life and the life experiences of others without become manically scared!? Thank goodness I have other blogging moms who do care enough to share glimpses of their lives. Thank goodness I have a loving Saviour who walks with me daily - without Him, I could shrivel in fear. Thank you for honesty and commitment to coordinating so much of the blogging world for us mommy’s who honestly, usually only have 5 minutes - and for Faith Lifts - where we can go for a little pick me up and reminder of where our faith lies.

Wow, I hadn’t thought about our morning in those terms. Thank you for opening my eyes and making me see that maybe I didn’t do such a bad job being a mommy after all.

Thank you for thinking of us! :o)
