Did You Ever....?

did you ever have a night
a week
a month
((or more))
where the only major stresses
were just the 
tiny ones
all in a great big giant heap
and heaping up higher and higher 
and you think...
*well, this isn't so bad*
and
*neither is this*
but when you add them all up they seem big
or giant-sized, even?
 {{**cast all your cares upon *HIM* for He cares for you! 1peter5:7**}}
it's all the little fix-it jobs you want done
rightthisveryminute
the worker, who is also a friend, whom you've paid but doesn't return your calls
the child that slips and gashes a lip
the endless responsilbities
and needs
that must always be met
(not to mention the needs that must always be pushed aside)
{{**cast all your cares upon *HIM* for He cares for you! 1peter5:7**}}
the feeling that things are good
and usually things are even *great*
but some days
at the end of the day
you're just feeling tired?
ready for a break?
peace.
a chance to catch up?
{{**cast all your cares upon *HIM* for He cares for you! 1peter5:7**}}
God is so good to us.
i'm so thankful that all of the problems we have in our days
have lately been
very
small
but when the very small things make a big giant pile
it makes me want to take a nap
when really, i ought to pray.
{{**cast all your cares upon *HIM* for He cares for you! 1peter5:7**}}so, i think i'll do that now!

Oh man! I am so right there with you! In fact, so much so, that I was such a mess yesterday, that after talking to my mom they came and packed up all 3 kids and took them home for a couple of days! Didn't really realize how much I had been pushing my self and how exhausted I had become!

Take care and know you are NOT alone : - )
