Find Peace

This morning, Pinterest inspires me.... Doesn't it always though? This time it is not inspiring me to remodel my home, organize the kids' playroom, or make a new dish. Today, it is inspiring me to find peace.

I just love this...and hate it simultaneously because it calls out my ego. I have a habit of trying to get so much done, so much accomplished, and never relaxing or finding peace until I am done. Soooo, basically... I am never at peace or relaxed. I think I need my task boxes checked off at the end of the every day (to of course be a super wife, a super mom, a super employee, a super homemaker, a super daughter/sister/friend) ... to find peace! Sounds pretty crazy to think that accomplishing so much is how I think I will find peace.

Instead.... I try to remind myself of this: "Find peace and everything will fall into place". Nothing has to be perfect, nothing at all. I have to remind myself that my life is in good hands and, really, I have no control. So I try to pray and find my peace. I say "try" because I am not great at remembering this. I am a control freak and worry wart working on my faults. However, taking time out to focus on blessings is great at getting me on track to finding peace. I start to focus on what matters, what I am grateful for. Then all of the silly things (like a clean house...psshh) stop mattering so much. Simple! Ha! No, it's not. But it is worth the effort that it takes.... Find peace....Everything else will fall into place.
