Here I go tiptoeing to the kitchenAnd don’t you know, crash goes the coffee cupMy only chance to be still and listenLord, don’t let, don’t let the kids wake upA little time with You, the only way to get me through the day

Oh, come meet me in this momentBefore it all gets goingThese plates start to spinWhen the crazy kicks inA circus of distractionsIt’s just about to happenI’ll be ready whenWhen the crazy kicks in
WHEN THE CRAZY KICKS IN…
I think that starts the second I wake up…and doesn’t stop until I drift off to sleep…
A CIRCUS OF DISTRACTION…
I think that starts the second I wake up…and doesn’t stop until I drift off to sleep…
Is there a theme here?
I think there is…and not only does Francesca explain the problem, she shares the solution. (my kids know how happy this makes me…I’m constantly asking them for solutions to the ‘problems’ aka complaining, they share with me…I realize this is an area I wish I had realized to focus on more as they were little…it’s so easy to just solve their problems for them when they’re little instead of teach them to problem solve. Mommy fail! 😉
“A little time with You, the only way to get me through the day”
Really…that’s all it takes. A little time…with Him. Maybe your schedule, in this season, only allows you a few minutes in the morning before the crazy kicks in kids wake up. Maybe you’re in a season where the plates start to spin before you even wake up, and your alarm clock is a crying baby. Or a cranky teenager. And that little time in the morning shrinks away.
Can I suggest something? Throughout your day…just stop, take a deep breath…and whisper “Jesus”. And He will meet you in that moment. Right then, right there…because He’s already there, whether you realize it or not. He just wants you to meet Him there. Notice Him.
In the chaos of the laundry (thank you Lord that we are blessed with clothes to wear and the resources to clean them) grass stains (thank you Lord that my kids are healthy and strong to run and play. And when they fell and got this grass stain, they got back up, and did it all over again. Thank you that they have a safe place to play in the fresh air.) meal prep (thank you Lord that we have food to feed our family) and cleaning the house (thank you Lord that we have a place to call home, protect us from the elements and keep us safe) we can breathe a little prayer of thanks to the Lord who gives us the Meaning, Joy and Purpose in all of our chaos and crazy.
And He WILL meet you… and help you…and love you…and sustain you…and help you with your spinning plates
I promise you, my friend.
