stay at home mom

when people ask me what i do
i tell them i am a stay at home mom
yet that, i must confess, is a lie
i am not a stay at home mom
in fact
i am a "never at home but usually in the car driving someone to something "mom

i really feel like i have the tip of my nose above water some days
running from one thing to the next
no time to catch my breath
always feeling like i am forgetting something
most times i am

get to baseball
drop off at softball
buy treats for the game
lead game square for awana
get someone to pick up graham from baseball
oh wait what is for dinner?
did you do your homework?
you need how much for you class booth at carnival?
oh i'll sew your patch on next week
its not clean...well it doesn't smell that bad
just wear it.
none of your shorts fit? are you sure?
get in the car or we are going to be late
oh great... i'm almost out of gas
we have to stop
i know your going to be late
its just practice. the coach will just have to understand.

I wish i was a stay at home mom.
i would love to stay home
and never leave :)

Amidst the whirlwind of life i hear God
Be still and know that I am God.
im trying Lord
i really am
yet
yesterday i found another verse to give me hope

His way is in the whirlwind and the storm-Nahum 1:3a

Now the context of the verse doesnt fit my situation.
its talking about God's strength and power
and that He will not leave the guilty in Nineveh unpunished
but
it does go on to say this:

The Lord is good,
a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in Him Nahum 1:7

This may be a whirlwind of a life right now but God works in whirlwind
He will be my refuge in the storm.
I just need to hold on and trust in Him
