Authentically Adele

Well…. it’s been a minute.. so here are some updates:

I fell asleep late, but I knew that was ok. I don’t have an early start the next day. Well…. I woke up and checked the time. 630am. Snap, I am extremely late. I need to be out of the house by 715am.

I jumped out of bed, and made it up quickly, my head spinning with a hundred things that needed to be done. I had laundry, I needed to cook dinner before I left, worst yet, my children are not yet up.  They need to get ready for school.

I stood in the middle of the hallway thinking; Why didn’t  I make their packed lunch the night before?  Why do I have so much undone. My heart began  to pound harder   This is all too much! I almost burst into tears.

No time to cry Adele… compose yourself before waking   the children. Look at the mess I am in this Monday morning. Then I asked myself, what happened on Sunday that had me so busy that I never did any  of my usual tasks, including  ironing.

Suddenly, I just felt the Holy Spirit say to me, check the date on your phone immediately I reached for my phone Sunday! Hold on. So today is not Monday? So, I’m not late? I was so grateful I had not yet awoken  the children. I did not know whether to laugh or cry. No, I was going to try and sleep again.

Quickly I jumped back into bed and closed my eyes. One way or another I will force  myself to sleep. I tossed and turned and must have eventually fallen asleep. Because I woke up and checked the time…. 845! Ok NOW I’m seriously late!!! I have to make sure I do all I need to do today so that I don’t have a repeat of this tomorrow morning. I jumped out of bed, switched on the laundry, and began to cook Sunday lunch before rushing to get ready for church.

All this needs to be done today… Because Monday, I was summoned for Jury Duty!!!! Yes yes….. Jury Duty!
