School’s Coming—Let’s Tame the Chaos Together 📚
|
Earlier this week, I got in a good habit of waking up early before the kids so I could get some work done in the peace and quiet -- and it's a good thing I did! Because once 9am rolled around, the chaos started in STRONG. One kiddo woke up with pink eye. The baby woke up ready to nurse. The dog got into some overgrown plants and was covered with burrs. And right as this was all happening, a neighborhood friend rang the doorbell as one of my other kids headed out to the park... Let's just say, between getting the burrs out and unexpected trips to the doctor's office and pharmacy, the next five hours of my day didn't go to plan! So much for peace and quiet. 😂 Sound familiar? As much as I love the lazy rhythms of summer, this introvert also CRAVES the peace and structure that back-to-school season brings. It’s the perfect time to rebuild routines that actually work—and don’t leave you feeling like you’ve already lived a full day before 9:30 am. Yes, there's some chaos you can't plan for. BUT for all the stuff you can... you need a good routine.

What do you do when someone you love is clearly struggling, but you don't know how to help (and you're secretly worried about making it worse)? Most of us aren't ignoring hurting people because we don't care. We're just completely overwhelmed. We don't want to say the wrong thing. We don't feel qualified. And honestly, we assume this is what pastors and professional counselors are for. Except they can't keep up. People are hurting at a scale we've never seen before. Anxiety, depression,...

(And she didn’t respond right away? Instant spiral.) Or maybe you’ve reached out before, tried to be friendly, tried to make plans…...
