Hold your agenda loosely.

I, personally know and have experienced the power presence has in and on relationships. The power of engaging, involving, and embracing the people I love the most in my life. Having experienced the power of presence I long for it every single day. I pray every single day that God keeps me focused on being who he has called me to be.


There is a struggle I also face every single day. The struggle is "to do," then do some more, topped off with do! I'm wired "to do" even though I long "to be!"


Let me explain; when I walk into the house and see a load of laundry that needs folded, another that needs dried, and another that needs washed; pjs from three Little's scattered through the house, a dishwasher that needs unloaded and then reloaded, breakfast dishes that need cleared off the table, and beds that need made; the inner Lindsay Lash attacks one task after another... then I hear a Little's voice; "Mommy, I hold you??"


"One minute Little!" I reply. Although, I mean 200 minutes when all the tasks that are screaming at me are done. The day spirals and one task after another gets added and I do and do some more..... the problem and it's big I long "to be!"


Our culture is time, productivity, and doing focused! Is that wrong? I can't answer that for you; however I can answer for me....


God has slowed me down and shown me the power of presence! My heart aches when I reflect on the times I was too busy doing; that I missed the "Mommy, I hold you." Satan uses task after task to distract and keep me from being who God wants me "to be!"


I heard this weekend, "hold your agenda loosely!" I love those four words! I also feel that those four words help explain how being "fluid" works and looks! I'm a work in progress and this is what I'm working on..... holding my agenda for each day lightly- knowing, expecting, and waiting for God to call me out of doing and into being.

Lindsay you are an inspiration to me. God is who inspiration really gets us all through the days. You and your family have been through so much, but you always keep the Lord in your heart. Of course that is all that gets us through each and everyday. Prayers always.
