How do I do it?

I am walking up to the cookout. Three kids beside me, each one carrying a food dish. One child is still in her ballet leatoard and tights, with Barbie sandals over them. We arrived at the pavilion with food in hand, when the teacher's wife looks up, and with big eyes, asks "How do you do it?" I made 45 chocolate chip cookies, 40 brownie bites, 2 casseroles of green beans, and about 60 pigs in blankets...all while on the webcam with my husband! I gave him a nice little home cookin show! I thought, hmmm, how do I do it? Well, the Lord is how I do it. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He makes it not hard to get things done. There are hard days. But for the most part, it goes smoothly. I have tried doing it without God's help, and I chose doing it WITH His help! He knows the road, so I let Him guide! Occassionally, I will kind of look at my situation, and think, wow, I have a lot on my plate. But, it is those times, that I can say, truly, thank you, Lord, for carrying me through this.

1 Kings 5:4But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or disaster.

2 Corinthians 12:9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
