As I write this post, I have about twelve other things I probably “should” be doing. You know, the neverending task list that taunts from the paper upon which it’s noted, or from the back of the mind where it nags and nags and interrupts life . . . or at least, it does with me!

I was doing some dishes and remembered this older song from Steven Curtis Chapman.

Well the day has just begun and I’m already running late
With too many irons in the fire and too much on my plate
I’d be pulling out my hair if I could just get one hand free
And I’d stop this world if I could find the key

What I see is telling me I’m going crazy, but
What is real says God’s still on His throne
What I need is to remember one thing
That the Lord of the gentle breeze is Lord of the rough and tumble
And He is King of the Jungle 

He is the King. Of the rough-and-tumble of our lives, of the crazy corporate or household jungle, or of anywhere and everywhere, really. The King of Kings. Isn’t that amazing!

He can even be King of my to-do list, if I allow Him to have control and surrender it to Him.

I hope this encourages you this week–that no matter how crazy our lives get, and no matter how many irons we try to keep in the fire, or plates spinning in the air, that God is in control and He is the King of the jungle of our lives as military wives, moms, sisters, friends, women.

I attended the Beth Moore simulcast, So Long Insecurity, on Saturday, and there are so many things I want to share! It was an amazing experience and I hope that the lessons I’m learning through the conference and in the reading of the book of the same title will stick with me and that I will be more secure in Him and be able to better serve Him.
