Do you ever have days where you are overwhelmed? Where you reach the end of your rope and feel like saying “no more-I can’t deal with this”? For me, the past couple of days have been at this spot. There were several events that just tipped the balance-not one of them was that huge but connected all together they made for something that just was too much.
I am so thankful for my hubby-he knew I was struggling. He graciously cleared the room and just came and sat and held me. There were tears (sometimes those are healing in and of themselves), questions, and venting; then a choice to rest in what God is doing-acknowledging that none of these things were a surprise to him-they had not caught him off guard. It did not make the struggles disappear and there have still been “it’s too much” moments.
I am sure that we have not experienced the last of the overwhelming moments, however I pray that in those moments I will be faithful to respond in faith, trusting the One who is walking, shepherding me through them.

Hi dear Tiffany...I have wondered how you are doing and today finally thought of checking your blog...I'm so thankful I did...I will update our little church tonite also. Some verses that have become my favorite...because I seem often "overwhelmed" are PS 61:1-4 "Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You. When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings." Looking forward to reading the posts from "home" very soon! Much love, Vicki
