Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen."

Hectic, but good

Watching my nieces for the past several days... taking care of two households (that includes my four children, my mother, my older teenage niece and lil "baby" nieces) for the past several days while lil sis has been out of town, has been really hectic. My fear of driving and being out and about in this city had to be overcome. I was not stressed out like I would usually be though. And the change was my being able to just do His will. I am sure it is His will to take care of those that need taking care of, so in that, I was able to handle everything with little to no anger or stress or frustration. So many things happened in the past several days that I know would've sent me over the edge a couple of weeks ago. Picking up, taking to work, helping because of car troubles in the middle of the night, missed buses, a night full of nightmares and no sleep, bed wetting, etc. But I did not get angry, angry like I used to. I got a little frustrated, but it was just surface. And no repression like I used to do. At some point, I think I even enjoyed the fact that I could do all that was needed and not even come close to breaking down. Thank you Lord. I've never understood nor experienced the Peace from fully "putting your burdens on Him" before. Wow, amazing.
