The workmen are here, continuing on the bath remodel. The noise level is distracting and concentration is difficult. My house is a mess. My energy level is improving during this mini-vacation from chemo and while that's a good thing, I'm finding that my mind is falling back into the old patterns of trying to sort out which neglected projects should be addressed. I am not in a peaceful state of mind as a result of all this.
Sarah Young nailed it for me this morning:
"Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask Me whether or not it's part of today's agenda. If it isn't, release it into My care and go on about today's duties.......a life lived close to Me is not complicated or cluttered."-Sarah Young (Jesus Calling).
The mixed blessings here?
The noisy, disorderly atmosphere is temporary and will result in a new, functional bathroom.
A re-ordered house will be an easy fix when the proper time comes.
Restored energy, if properly utilized, will result in a less constrained lifestyle, even if it's only temporary.
Even starting chemo again, with its accompanying lack of energy, will draw me back into extended quiet times with God.
Blessings are everywhere if I look carefully for them.
"There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven."-Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV).
On the health front:
I did, indeed, get the miracle product from the dermatologist and enjoyed an itch-free night.
My energy level is improving and I'm enjoying it while it lasts:)
