weekend stress

Today has me very stressed.

Today is payday and while that is always a fabulous day to come around, today is slightly different. We are all walking on egg shells not sure of what today will bring at the workplace. Uncertainty at work causes a stressful work environment and I am definitely feeling the affects of that.

Tonight, my mom, dad and sister are flying in for a visit this weekend. While it is going to be wonderful to see them since I haven't seen them since December, I am also quite stressed about the whole event. My mom and sister have been here once while we were living in the apartment still, but now my dad is coming and I just want him to be proud of what we have accomplished in such a short period of time. I realize that I cannot live for his pleasure, but rather i need to live to make God happy, but I can't help but wonder what he will think. Sunday they are going to church with us and the church that we go to is awesome! I love it so much! However, it is very contemporary and my parents are not used to that sort of worhip style. I am praying that the service goes smoothly and that my parents are blessed by the worship like I have been so many times since attending.

I have so much to do between now and when they get here. I have to clean the ENTIRE house, finish the laundry and shop for items like an air mattress and groceries so I can feed them while they're here :) I am sure the trip will go smoothly and I am stressing over nothing (wouldn't be the first time), but it's in my nature. I just need to lean on God to take control of this one.....he has the power to do it!

It's just so stupid because I stress to the point of making myself sick. Today I didn't want to go to work because not only do I have a lot going on, I just wasn't feeling well at all (and that started last night). I just need to relax and enjoy their company while they're here....right?
