This Day... This Week...

Oh LORD, what have I done
In the passion and excitement of new ideas and being away from the craziness of the office
I thought we could sign up for the 1 week conference next week
What a great opportunity
What help it will bring us
What a good opportunity--to travel and learn together, providing a foundation for further conversations

But now I see all that needs to be done
It was already busy before we left
Just manageable enough
And me...
Operating with less energy than before

God...should we cancel this
Or is it good pressure to make me go forward and make some more decisions

And here I am, at the beginning of the day
Supposed to come into Your Presence to seek and learn
Start with opening
And that "slow down"
Oh how I need to slow down...

The panic rises LORD, the stress...the unbelief
I fight it though
I come to You with all I am
Bringing this
Even in this
You say You are here
You will lead
You will give wisdom for those who need it and ask
I need it
I come
I ask

God of me
You who love me
Here I am
Me, the one You love
Coming to You for grace and mercy
In the midst of stuff that seems so big and that I never seem to be able to figure out
Peanuts to You, small stuff
Show me how to live
