Late December stresses

My family is preparing to move to another country due to my spouse's work. The realization of this finally hit me the other day, and I am still adjusting. My licensure exam for massage therapy is scheduled for the first week of January; I have been beside myself enough just studying to pass this. Add on top of that trying to get our belongings and house ready for the move, not to mention the scheduling of visits of family and friends lined up for before we go, and it is all crazy. Besides that is the usual hecticness of trying to figure out when we can visit all our parents and other family over the Christmas break. Each night as I lay down for bed, everything invades--how much I still need to study, how much organizing and cleaning the house needs, how little time there actually is before the move. Each night my mind is pummeled with to-dos, and each night I pray that God will help me to focus solely on Him. As I pray, disruptions continue to barge their way in, but I continue to press though. Eventually I fall asleep for the night, and I sleep well.

There is no reason I should still be sane and level-headed right now...

....but God...
