Time Flies

Time flies when you are having fun!  Whoever constructed such a comment failed to experience the events of my past two weeks.  Time flew but fun failed to enter the scene.

School began and all the sudden two little babies grew up and entered 7^th grade and 3^rd grade.  Fearing such big steps, prayers went up for both during those first days in this new role.  I too entered new territory with numerous changes occurring this year at work, working diligently to become organized and still recovering from surgery over the summer.  Time flew but fun failed to enter the scene.

Everyone’s first day came and went in a flash.  The children spoke over one another, sharing the wonderful stories and displaying such maturity in their actions throughout the day.  I sat exhausted from the whirlwind of a first day.  Blame it on age, struggle with anxiety or just plain chaos; but, my mind continued running 90 MPH for hours post leaving work. 

Seeing the light at the end of every tunnel can be difficult.  Clinging to prayer, venting to loved ones and singing His praises for providing each day will keep that light shining (even if it is dim from time to time).  God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.  In other words – He is our everything.  He will never leave nor forsake you.  He knows just what can be handled when using Him for strength.  He slows down the mind, eases the soul and replaces the fun in all times.  Time flew over the past two weeks, but God began revealing my purpose, bringing clarity to the situation at hand. 

My children continue to love school, maintain great rapport with teachers and create friendships each day.  I stand proud of both and realize I need to learn a thing or two from them.  Life is fun.  Let go of petty stuff.  Adapt to situations at hand.  Embrace the joy around.  Laugh.  Play.  Forgive.  Love others at every opportunity. 

Had I practiced the same principles my children did over the past two weeks, emotions could have played out quite differently.  Thank you God for my children.  Thank you God for trusting me to play the mom role.  Thank you God for the lessons learned through them. 

Oh yeah!  Throughout all this, my husband I have made it through the cleanse portion of our 24D back to school challenge.  My husband lost 7 pounds already, feels great and continues reaching health goals.  I regained strength, clarity and continue feeding my body the nutrients needed. 

Without product my body felt drained, weak, unhealthy, fogged and failed me daily.  Since taking product and keeping up with cleanses throughout the years, I gained strength to accomplish daily tasks, maintained healthy weight, increased exercise endurance and feel great!  Each day reveals another great opportunity to celebrate the body provided to me!  Thank you God for restoration in health as I provide my body with nutrients via product and foods daily!

Live life. . .One Day at a Time
