Just Keep Moving
I have spent the past week not doing much of anything except baking. Not a box has been packed, nothing has been organized. There is an unfinished sewing project that needs to be done before we move. Cleaning needs to happen.
Instead, I find myself sitting in an overwhelmed, anxious-type of state doing not much of anything. Well.....except that silly baking. I have been working on items for a spring conference and had a dentist appointment, but the more I sit and ignore the task that really needs to happen, the more overwhelmed I feel.
We had a time of prayer at church last night and while only one person showed up it was still good and as we prayed, I felt some of the anxiousness leaving me. I woke up at 5 a.m. today and had a sweet time of reading and prayer. A batch of granola is in the oven, dishes that were in the sink are done and the sunroom has been straightened up, and a load of laundry is in the wash.
It seems that whatever was paralyzing me from doing anything has passed and I'm ready to face the new day. My goal today is to sort through the books in our bedroom, make a pile to give away and pack up the rest. While I'm in there I need to deep clean that room. It seems to be the one room that never gets attention.
There may be a batch of Christmas cookies thrown in there because after all, it is Christmas time! But my goal today is just keep moving!
I am in the same state you are in, just overwhelmed with the future mostly. So I make a list and just start working, I pray as I go and that seems ti help.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's what I've been trying to do too. Today was productive. 10 boxes of books packed, the bedroom deep cleaned and 2 boxes to the thrift store.
