A Flappy Arm State

I recently posted “Life in Distractions” and now this… Are you beginning to sense a theme? This spring is one of my most busy. We are not only working through the daily family life of two dogs, three teenagers, and two working parents – we are also moving our family across the country this summer and must be out of our house in two weeks AND temporary housing is proving illusive at the moment.

Deep breath…

It’s “All good things. All good things.” (I love Olaf!) Nevertheless, rather than knowing that God’s got this in hand and recognizing that step by step I’m moving through it, I’m wandering around in a “flappy arm state,” in a Daddy Long Legs impersonation (I’m tall.) in which I move piles about the house (see pictures) and dwell on senseless minutia rather than affect any change.

Ever been there?

I suspect you have as I realize that life is spent more in this time of change than it ever is in normal. Is there even such a thing? And if there isn’t, how do we handle that reality?

 

So I go back to the “Life in Distractions” post and quote its ending line:

I hope your week goes well… I hope you find rest, time to breathe, time to be thankful, time to enjoy the joy of life and the blessing of distractions. And, as for me? Starting here and now… I chose to join you!

Because, once again, I think it says it all. I simply must hang on to the truth a little more tightly. Have a great week!

And PLEASE let me know if you have some insights into all this. I’d love to hear from you!
