Don't go Changin'

I am hoping you sang along heh heh. Anyhoo, as so many things have been changing lately, I find myself looking for stability. I feel like I have been in the middle of a long transitional day (almost like Groundhogs Day only without all the repetition). Of course life seems to continue to move with the kids' birthdays all happening, The Man turns another year older, and people post updates on their own blogs. The weird thing is, I feel like I am watching it all through a snow globe. I am not the one doing the shaking, but for different reasons, I am affected. I am working at changing my perspective. The longer I keep this focus, I fear I will find more things that feel out of whack. Instead, I am choosing God's peace. I want to be purposeful with my thoughts, so I am choosing to meet with God each day (as many times as necessary) until he restores my peace. I don't want to miss this time of year. I tend to get a little hectic because I want each of the kids to have a meaningful birthday, plus The Man, plus or anniversary, plus Easter which means a lot around here. I want to be the mom who remembers all those funny stories about her kids. To do that, I need to be available. To be available, I have to be focused. To be focused, I need God's peace. To know God's peace, I need to pray and read my bible. To pray and read my bible, I need to choose. Baby steps onto the elevator. I am IN the elevator. AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
