The Wheels on the Bus Go 'Round and 'Round and 'Round and ....

Have you ever had one of those days or even weeks where nothing gets accomplished? This has been one of those weeks. 'round and 'round

For the past 3 days I have had things I wanted to get done before weeks end and I am no closer today than I was 3 days ago. I have encountered countless interruptions so frustration has set in. 'round and 'round

As I look around the house all I see is the things that I haven't accomplished. Deep down I know I have made tremendous headway but I'm ready for the house to be finished. I'm getting impatient. 'round and 'round

Craig and I have hung the curtain rods and I have made numerous trips to every store imaginable to find curtains. I bring them home; they don't look right; I take them back and start all over again. Time wasted. 'round and 'round

As for the walls, I have been trying to find just the right spot for everything so I don't make needless holes in the walls. Forget that...I'm hanging things just to get them off the floor. I can always touch up the wall later. What doesn't fit on the wall will go under a bed to deal with later. 'round and 'round

I have been asking God to give me patients so I can relax and not stress; then it dawned on me....God won't give me patients, He will provide the opportunity for me to have to be patient. He provides so I can learn. I'm listening God.

For the rest of the afternoon I will patiently shop on-line for the right look for the windows and this evening I will patiently locate the right spot on the wall for the wall decor before I make a hole.

I'll still be on the bus with the wheels going 'round and 'round but I'm getting closer to the destination and I know the bus will reach it.
