Stressed Out

Are you stressed out?

Brooke came up to me today and showed me a song called "Stressed Out". The refrain of the song was... "I wish we could turn back time, to the good ole days.  When the mama sang us to sleep, but now we're stressed out!"

I think stress these days is an epidemic.  There's many people on high blood pressure medicine, including my husband!  We are not living our lives like God intended for us.  He never intended us to have such stressful lives.  We've brought a lot of it upon ourselves.  It's time that life slows down and we figure out what really deserves our time and energy... Him.  I made up a poem about it, since I've been on a roll lately with poems...

Many people are these days

Over their limit and very strained

No rest, no rest

Every day is busier than the last

That is what it's like living this fast track

But, one day soon 

all will change

When people slow down and learn to pray and play

When they realize our God

Is the one over us all

Then life will begin to be

What was meant 

before the fall

The way our God intended it

Not just to live and try to make our way

But to learn to love, pray and play.
