In A Groove. . .

I'm sitting here at home working a bit this afternoon. Hope is upstairs sleeping after a rather full weekend. Actually, she's battling quite a cold today and should be miserable, but alas. . . she is asleep. Thank God!

As I sit here working, I can't help but ponder the fact that I feel like I am really in a groove as it relates to work. So much so that I wonder when the "you know what" is going to hit the fan. Is it possible that I've gotten a better handle on this marketplace mommy thing? I can promise you this, work is busy. There is a lot going on and some days I feel completely in over my head. But the odd thing is, I feel very much at peace.

I am a firm believer that many things in life are mind over matter. If we can just wrap our minds around the matter at hand, we'll likely be able to see it with a fresh pair of eyes and many times, those fresh eyes see things much less fuzzy and much more beautifully. For some reason (and I'll betcha that reason is God) I have a new outlook on being a working mom. Sure, my house is in desperate need of a good cleaning and I may not get to it until my next day off on Friday but what does that matter? Is the clean police coming on Thursday? As long as my child is happy and healthy (ok, today I'll take happy) and the same goes for my husband then we're doing pretty well.

I think at the root of my new found peace is the fact that God has given me great revelation that's allowed me to take the pressure off. If I do my very best (with His help) in my home, at work, at church, and with my family and friends then the rest is up to Him. I'm really learning to appreciate the story God's created for us. . . The Wolstenholms. For now I am a marketplace mommy and I am proud of what He's allowed me to be a part of through my work. I pray every day that I will have the strength to do what I've been given to do with excellence and a peaceful heart.
