The past couple of days I have been noticing there are things that are just sticking to me. Things that I would love to be able to look past, to let go. Maybe it has something to do with my three year old's obsession with Frozen (although he seems to have transitioned to Cars, I'll take it).
Things like differing opinions, lack of two-way relational communication and simple, plain incompetence have all been super annoying. I told my friend that I need to figure out how to just ignore these things from the start since I am clearly in a season of life where I am vulnerable to them.
It probably has a lot to do with my brain being fried at this point. The new job is fine, but there is some tension in the company that is taxing. I am working on my senior thesis and I am getting frustrated because I have everything I need for it, but by the time I sit down to write putting words together to form sentences is a chore. And I have a second course starting for the last half of the semester. Sleep is a struggle. I am trying to make sure I am available to help out with music at church and while I love doing it, right now it seems like a poor decision.
So what do I do to work on letting things go?
In Psalms 121 it says that "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He who keeps you will not slumber. The Lord is your keeper, he will keep your life. From this time forth and forevermore."
We cannot do everything. We cannot be responsible for it all. If we try we will spread ourselves thin and become weak. Our Lord sees our efforts and understands our shortcomings. That is why He is willing to go to great lengths to keep us, to be our help.
