Things at the Kendall house hold are…interesting. We are daily walking down a path that has quite a few bends in it. Without really getting into anything specific, we are facing some challenging and thrilling days ahead (who isn’t these days;). We may be selling our house and moving into the Boulder area (almost all of Craig’s work is coming out of Boulder these days). OR…we may not be selling the house and just commute a lot. It’s really fascinating when there are so many things going on in your life that you really have absolutely no control over! When I let tomorrow go and just revel in the day at hand, stress just has no place to sit and fester. Stress doesn’t like the present. Rarely do we stress over things that are happening that moment. We usually stress over what could happen. I remember reading this phrase many years ago…”Worrying (stressing) is running from something that might not even be chasing you.” I get this immediate mental picture of me running through the woods in panic and fear certain that a bear is chasing me to eat me alive simply because bears, in general, live in the woods. Just picture with me for a moment…I’m running in fear for my life, terrified, unable to think clearly. Suddenly I see a hunter with a big ole gun and run up to him screaming “There might be a bear chasing me…there might be a bear chasing me!!!!!” What an idiot I would be!! Yet how many times have I mentally done exactly that. So…today…I’m going to throw stress under the bus and enjoy the day Father has for me. Since He is in control, all I have to do is walk.
