Handcrafted. Splendidly.

It has been a day. Quite a day. Not-so-stellar news arrived from multiple sources. I received a phone call for a last-minute showing of our home, and literally the moment I was finished with my mad-dash cleaning frenzy to ready it for possible buyers, my phone rang again. The real estate agent called to cancel the showing. 

I would by lying if I didn’t say that I wasn’t reduced to a crying fit of tears at that point. I am the type of person who likes to be in control of a situation, but selling a home in the current market is one that is entirely not amenable to any semblance of control. I have no idea when, or if, people will come to look at our house on any given day, and yet, I have to keep our house as though we will be welcoming guests at any moment. With three children aged 4 and under, that is no small feat. 

The kiddos and I piled into the car to grab some frozen pizzas at Kroger a few minutes ago, and as I was driving, my head was swirling with unease. When will this stressful season is over? How will the kids cope with the transition to a new city? How long will all of us have to be apart once Matt starts his new position in a couple of weeks?

And then – right smack in the middle of it all – a calming message to ease my troubled mind:

Just be still, Amy, and know that I AM.

Thank God for a precious song on the radio to remind me that even when things are their most stressful, even when I am the most overwhelmed, there is Someone who loves me. Who is here for me. Who roots for me. Who loves me enough to have a plan for me, the self-centered worrywart that I am.

Isn’t it incredible how God meets us where we are? 




Thank you, friends, for allowing me to pour out my heart! I am so thankful for you!
