Be Still Already!

So this morning has been crazy all ready….. Forgetting the fruit for Free Fruit Friday, dealing with members who can not pay and want the Y for free, realizing I made the mistake on the PRD form (sorry Jan), being about 3 staff members too short, finding out GWU had lost my paycheck, having to get my house ready for family coming into town today, the last weekday for a $9 joining fee, and realizing I forgot my panty hose for my dress that I have to change into before I leave work tonight for the Miss GWU pageant that I so stupidly agreed to help coordinate!

On that note I came into my office to shed a few tears of stress because as most of the Y staff know I wear my emotions on my sleeve. I decided to take a 5 minute break just to pray and breathe. My 5 minutes of silence turned into 50minutes due to the interruptions of the phone and people asking for me out front. But for the 2 minutes of silence before the interruptions I decided to read my favorite daily devotion online, Girlfriends in God. As I read the devotion for today I started laughing. I know that I am not the only one who is busy, stressed, or tired. So it is always good to be reminded what is truly important in life by other people who are also tipping over the cliff.

By the way writing, journaling, blogging are great stress relievers for me…so now I feel much better after typing my emotions out on the keyboard and sending them into the web.

Please take or try to take 5 minutes to read this daily devotion :-D
