...And I will wait

Do you ever have a season in life, where all it seems you can do is put out the fires?  From morning until evening fixing one fiasco after another.  I'm here.

I want to vacuum the floor - It will have to wait.

I want to finish our budget - It will have to wait.

I want to finish a food order - It will have to wait.

I want the kids to stop shrieking - It will have to wait.

I REALLY want to take a shower - It will have to wait.

I want to write a real post - It will have to wait.

I want to finish my sewing projects - It will have to wait.

I want to call a friend and have an adult conversation - It will have to wait.

I want to fold the 7 loads of laundry waiting for me in the laundry room - It will have to wait.

I want to give undivided attention to each of my children - It will have to wait.

I want respond to my e-mail - It will have to wait.

I want to make a list of everything I need to do, and do it efficiently - It will have to wait.

Because right now with everything piling up around me, the only thing I can afford to do is push everything else aside and spend some "face" (where I am on my face) time with the Lord - and in the "stillness" (whatever that is) I will wait on Him alone.

Habakkuk 2:1  I will stand on my guard post
                        And station myself on the rampart;
                        And I will keep watch to see what 

                        He will speak to me,
                        And how I may reply when I am 

                        reproved.

Nice, way to keep the focus where it should be.

What happened to 'Epic Blog' as I liked to call it? (the previous version with the family on a mountain top)

'Epic blog' just didn't ever feel right, so spilled blocks and aliens it is.
