Simplify

"Jesus, help me to simplify my life by learning what you want me to be and becoming that person." ~ Saint Therese of Lisieux

The fall schedule is always a bit crazy. I can work some pretty long and intense days. I want to be the best me that God created me to be, not some tired, and then on occasion cranky, me. I am not cranky at the moment, but I do have a headache that makes me irritable. Yes, I am splitting hairs.

Tonight I think I need to get to bed early. The pace today was intense as it usually is at this school. By the time I finish being cheerleader, I am pooped! The long drive home was spent debriefing the day in my head before I began to concentrate on the awesome cloud formations filling the sky. I was wishing for a camera. Black fluff reached down and touched the farmers’ fields, threatening rain.

If I pare away those things that are not supposed to be me, what would be left? Could I be like a flower that just grows, because it knows that is what it is supposed to be?

Only God knows.

Peace,

Suzanne
