Don’t Stress Out When You’re Late

We usually go to Bible study on Friday. So us girls were getting ready to leave, had dinner on the table on time and everything ready.

But then someone came over and was in a deep conversation with Momma. We got everyone dressed, fed and ready to go. I was hinting to Momma that we were all ready to go, but they kept on talking. Finally around 6:15 (Bible study starts at 6:30 and we still had a half an hour drive), I was starting to get stressed out and was trying to get the little ones in the car. Once I got a few in then another one would have to go do “something.” Finally we were ready to go and it was around 6:40 we left but then Poppa said that we had to go and return some things at a store before we went to Bible study. Finally I burst into tears. Momma asked me why and I told her that I didn’t like being late. She gave me some advice. By the time we got to Bible study we were late! I then asked God to change me around, so that when we are late or running behind I would be peaceful and stay calm. So awhile later something happened and we were going to be late but I had a peace about me that I didn’t have before. Now I’m free of having to rush out of the house and get “there” on time. Now that doesn’t mean that I have to take my time and not be considerate of others, it just means not to rule your life according to the clock. So don’t stress out, and trust Jesus with your time.
