Peace He Gives to Us

(From the heart of she)

I am so ready for this break! My parents are coming up from Florida and we are all staying in my uncle's cabin for the Thanksgiving holiday. I can not wait to just sit around and do nothing. (Except, of course, entertain Zaba). I feel like my life has been going in high speed since August. I had all of these plans for things that I wanted to do with my time outside of work...hasn't happened. And then I think about all of you mothers out there and I wonder how in the world you are able to accomplish all that you do! You really impress me. It doesn't help that I am a neat freak and feel that I have to spend every free moment doing laundry and vacuuming up dog hair (while always making mental lists of what else I would like to do around the house to get everything in its 'perfect order'. ) Yes- I have a problem. I am not sure when it all began. You can ask my mother- I was not like this growing up. I know that God put Zaba in my life to teach me the importance of valuing what really matters. Unfortunately, I am still fighting God on the actual acceptance piece of that.
Anyways, It will be nice to get away from everything for a few days and spend some time with my family. I hope that God gives all of you peace and rest over your holiday as well.
