In a Frenzy

It's been one of those weeks for me.  There's been so much going on, so much to pray and think about, so much to do that my brain right now is having a really hard time functioning correctly.  Keith turned to me yesterday at one point and said, "You're in a bit of a frenzy right now, aren't you?" and I SOOOO was!  I was sitting still at the time, but my mind was going 100-miles-an-hour with thoughts bouncing around randomly like a tennis ball court full of balls bouncing in every direction at once. 

Here are some of the tennis ball thoughts that were bouncing around:

1. Jonathan is coming down with something, and I'm not sure what, and not sure if I need to take him to the doctor or not.  He's just not acting himself... little to no appetite for about 2 days, tired and today a little glassy-eyed, maybe a low-grade fever, periodic cough, clingy... I hate not knowing what's going on with him and really wish I could hook him up to some sort of diagnostic machine just like they do my car at Auto Zone.  
2. I'm so far behind at work that I'm not sure if I'll ever catch up.  Between my usual state of being slightly behind on things because of my normal work-load, I've been out for a week for the holidays, then was out a lot the next week because of our office being closed for snow... There's just a lot going on right now and I hate being behind!
3. As of Monday, Keith and I have made the decision to travel out of state next weekend to interview and preach at a church that has contacted us.  There are SOOOO many unknowns about that entire situation that it's really freaking me out right now.  I know God can and will work everything out, whether we move or not, but I don't know how that's all going to work out right now and the planner in me is miserable!  The other thing that's got me on edge about the trip is that we are not taking Jonathan.  He will be staying with MeMe and Pop.  I KNOW he will have a great time and that they will take great care of him... it's just that it will be the first time since we brought him home that he's spent the night away from us.  I LOVE our evening routine of play, bath, devotional, prayers, and nite-nite hugs and kisses and I LOVE being the one to open his door and see him as he's waking up in the morning.  
4. Keith and I have been praying for almost a year now about doing an International Adoption.  We met with an adoption agency yesterday to get some questions answered and have decided to go ahead with the process, once we know more about the situation with the church I just wrote about.  The whole thing is SOOOO exciting! -and scary! -and overwhelming!  
5. I need to clean house and plan meals for this week, and my mind is totally not into it right now.  

Those aren't the only thoughts... just the biggest ones that keep bouncing off the walls of my brain.  The problem is that each one creates a lot of related thoughts that just add to the mix.  I'm exhausted!

The really cool thing about having one of those weeks and having your brain in a total frenzy is knowing that Christ is sufficient.  I don't have to have all the answers because Jeremiah 29:11-13 tells us that "I (God) know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you... plans to give you hope and a future.  You will seek Me and find Me when you seek with all of your heart."  (That may not be an exact quote, but it's the part that keeps playing over and over in my heart.)  So, I guess I should stop trying so hard to figure it all out and just seek God.
