OVERWHELMED is the "word of the day".
We are hosting a cookout this Saturday evening and it's going to be larger than I originally thought when I volunteered over a month ago. I've never entertained on this large of a scale - and to top it off, I don't even get to be here the few hours beforehand to do those last minute set-ups that hostesses always do. I think I might puke just thinking about it. No one knows how to stres out like I do!! I even try to make myself laugh. And then I go right back to the stress. That is pretty sick.
So besides making a list of things I should be getting done, things I still need to get at the store . . . . perhaps what I really should do is make a list of things I am actually stressed about . . . THEN, pray about each one and really, truly give it over to God. I already KNOW He takes care of everything, but I don't really let my heart trust it. I'm so bad at that.
Here's where my attention really should be: I made dinner and delivered it to a family last night whose mom has cancer. She's young. Has three young boys - one of which will go to Kindergarten with my son this year. I just met her a month ago. You just don't know what life will hand you . . . . and yet I'm worried about a little party! This family doesn't know what next month holds for them, what the next 6 months hold! If you think about it, pray for this mom.

I did a Bible Study a while back called "Frazzled Female" by Cindy Wood. (Awesome study, very practical by the way). Anyhoo, one thing she suggested was to pray over your "to-do" list. It is a great thing to invite God into even the 'small' things (well, I wouldn't call a BIG party small) of our lives.
Praying for your new friend. Wow! That does help keep things in perspective. But, GOD does care about the small things in our lives - so I'm praying your cookout goes well too!
Thank you, Kendra Lee! That study sounds great. I'll have to look into it. I appreciate your prayers!
