Overwhelmed

Its happened. Although things with our house are moving along very nicely, i'm having a bit of an issue in terms of our plumber. We got a quote from a few, and picked a family friend to go with. Well, when I got the bill for the rough in portion of it, it was almost $1000 more than other plumbers. Which is why nothing has happened in our house since that in terms of plumbing (air conditioner, furnace, duct work etc)
I went and got another quote from another plumber, who was also high.
Now, I'm looking at the quote from our original plumber, needing to call him and make sure that when all is said and done, the total will not be more than he said. It can't be more than he said. We cannot afford for it to be more than he said.
Its stressful.
So after thinking about it all evening, waking up at night and thinking about it, and it being in my head first thing this morning, I feel better about it. Why?
Well, when I got in the shower this morning, a song was in my head. A song that I have not sung for years. I just kept singing it and humming it over and over. I finally stopped to really think about what I was singing. First of all, amazed that I still remember the whole song, but then I listened to the words as i was singing them. Amazing. Just what I needed. A little reminder that I need to put this all in God's hands. Its alot of stuff to deal with in terms of this whole house thing, but I need to remember daily to just give it all to God and it will all work out.
Here's the song.




I CAST ALL MY CARES UPON YOU
I LAY ALL OF MY BURDENS,
DOWN AT YOUR FEET
ANYTIME, I DON'T KNOW
JUST WHAT TO DO,
I JUST CAST ALL MY CARES
UPON YOU

Why is it that it always seems to be the last thing we think of?! We need to remember to go to God first! Thanks for the reminder Jamy!

i often find that when i'm slightly (or more than slightly) distressed, a song like that will all of a sudden be in my head! i think i know who plants it there though :)
