Last night, I couldn't get my bottom kitchen drawer to shut - the drawer with the boxes and boxes of plastic bags, plastic wraps, foils. I kept trying to rearrange everything to make it go shut - to make it all fit.
I thought, what about my life? I have so many drawers open with things spilling out of them, but I can't get any closed - I have so many things going on in my life and can't seem to finish any of them so I can never get the drawer shut. I. Can't. Make. It. All. Fit.
I'm feeling like this
While I know I could have stuffed these drawers for a more dramatic effect - I didn't want to come across that everything is out of control. I know that my Lord is holding me in His hands and taking care of me. And I need to listen when He calls me to rest - because I can't seek Him when my drawers don't go shut.
So, I'm signing off for a few days and hope to be back next Monday, with my drawers organized and shut - and a new project to share with my friends!
God bless,

See ya Monday. Thanks for everything, Leigh Ann, and I mean everything.
Enjoy! :)
Good to take a break once in awhile especially when we get to feeling stressed and pulled in too many directions.
"Be still and know that I am God" is always good advice for all of us.

I'm looking forward to the top secret project!
Enjoy your break, I'll be thinking of you!
Found your blog through Multi-Tasking Moms and Dawnelle! Great timing as I too feel like there's way too much to close the drawer's and needed the encouragement.
Thank-you and hope you enjoy your break.
Looking forward to your return!! Rest up my friend.
Leigh Ann,

Very well said Leigh Ann...I've reorganizing some "clutter" in my life too.

Such a good analogy! I think we all feel like that sometimes...just need to know enough to recognize it and take a breather!
EVERYONE is taking a blogging break it seems! Now what am I going to do?!?!?! Have a good break.
I've been seeing you around "bloggy town" in comments and such and thought I would stop by and visit.
I love this post and your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in the correlation of your overflowing drawers that won't shut. I'm feeling that way too here lately.
I love what Susan said in her comment..."Be Still" Sometimes we need to be reminded of that, don't we?!
Glad I stopped by and will check back in often.
Have a great weekend!

Take care, Leigh Ann. It will all fit--don't push it too hard or something might break!
Let's get together soon! Have a nice break.

I am planning to take a break from blogging as well... or rather just to do it in a different way. I hope you enjoy your break!
