I know that my life is way too full right now. I know that Christ called us to live life abundantly, but I don’t think this is what He had in mind. These are a few of the road signs that have been alerting me to the fact that I am living life a little too abundantly lately.
I got everyone ready to go to my daughter’s soccer practice. My intention was to practice with my boys on the side of the field. Wrestled on the socks and shin guards and everything. Got to practice and I had forgotten the soccer balls. Nice move, Mom.
Got to the soccer games this week. I knew we had a full schedule that day, but I thought for sure I had remembered everything. One son assumed I had gotten his cleats. Uh…no. I forgot those.
Half way there we had to go back for one of my sons to get his shoes. He and his brother have very similar shoes. So when we arrived at the game, he had two left feet. Great.
It guess it’s the details that matter, but I kind of took those details for granted until lately. I feel like my brain is full of post-it notes and they are falling off.
I guess the first step to fixing my “abundant” problem is acknowledging it…check. Now I’ve got to figure out what to do about it. More on that later…
I got a stapler…what if we staple those post-it notes to your head? Maybe that will help.
