Overwhelming

As the baby due date draws nearer I begin to feel more and more overwhelmed. There is officially less than three months till baby Yee makes it debut. I have been reading books, articles and websites to make sure that I know what to do and when to do it. The only problem is that there is so much information that my brain cannot seem to hold it all in. So, I just pray that God will be there with us, to walk us through every day.

The other thing that makes things a little overwhelming at this point is the fact that there is a lot going on at work right now. Easter is next weekend so there is a bunch of stuff that needs to be done for that. Then we are having a soccer camp again this year and I am busy trying to get that ready to go. We are also helping to coordinate a missions trip to Mexico for some of the young people (we will be partnering with HFL). It is pretty exciting but one more thing to help with. Then I have some training workshops to organize, volunteer recruiting, meetings (ministry and non-ministry related), Summer Camp has asked me to find someone to do the kids program and then there is getting things together for the fall... ah. That's just church stuff. Then we have doctors appointments, lab appointments, finding a pediatrician, going to prenatal, hospital visits and then getting the house ready. YIKES, and we only have three more months.

So, this is why the other night I had a mini breakdown. I was thinking about all that needed to be done and wondering where the time was going to come from. I know that stress is not good and I really don't feel stressed, just overwhelmed. We are taking things one day at a time for sure and if certain things don't get done we know it is not the end of the world. We are just trying to do our best to get everything just right. Sometimes being a a perfectionist is not always a good thing. I really want to make sure that everything is just right at work and at home. If you read this post and think I am losing my mind, it's not true. I just needed to write out what's going on inside my brain before it blows!

Thanks for reading!
