A little too much!!!


Well these past few months I have felt very overwhelmed.  Yes I know this has happened before and I am sure I have blogged on it but I have been  really feeling it these past two weeks and I get so frustrated with myself when I can't give my 100% behind something I do.  Everything has been awesome!!! Great things are happening in the Williams home, but when I wake up and don't know what day it is and can't figure out what I have to do that day that is a sign that I am overwhelmed!!!  When my kids projects are lacking and my laundry can't get folded and I don't  know what is for dinner and by 7:30 at night I am ready to drop I have to say it is time for a change.  Time to look at what needs to go and what can I change and how can I organize my life better.  (as for those of you who know me well I am not an organized person and this is a huge challenge for me.)   But when I do organize my life I see such fruitfulness and joy.  My desire is to be a better wife, mom and friend, a better Children's Pastor and photographer.  How can I???


So what did I do about all this you ask?  Well I brought it before the Lord.  I actually brought it.  I took things from around my house that would represent  each part of my life.  Picture of Jimmy and I.  This was for our marriage, a book of VBS and the Schedule this was CM, picture of my kids. my family and something that stood for my photography.   Laid them out and as I prayed for each thing I would hold them and hand them to God.  I am such a visual person and this helped me so much.  Well One of them being Children's Ministries.  I love Children.  I love the parents! I love just hugging on the kids and seeing God develop the kids into what Christ wants them to be. But with the growing children's ministries there comes times when you need more help!! SO praise God it came.  So thankful for Sean and Rachel and their amazing hearts, also Johanna  who said here I can help develop a team and she did and Tada it happened.  Praise God.  Then I have been praying for more time with my hubby and just us and tada it has been awesome!!!!  Then I prayed for my buisness and just what I need to do and WOW I have so many resources and help and business it blows me away!!! 


I am so Thankful for God's faithfulness he continues to to show me how much he loves me and what I need to do during this time is to fall to my  knees.  One of the things that I really want to do is pour into my friendships and I want my friends to  know how important they are to me and how much I love them so. So I want to make sure that we are having coffee or some type of quality time together.  Even if its going over and helping them with their kids I just want to be with them.  It is Stopping and saying," hey you are so important to me and want you to know that. "  So here are a few goals that I have for myself.   A few of them I want to see happen this week.  I just want to say Thank you to you all that have helped me and those of you who have prayed for me.  You are such a blessing to me and I am so thankful for you in my life.
