dont give up.

Well come on now, Stay 

Right here in the light, 

Throw your burdens all away

So often we get bogged down, exhausted, worn out, and flat out TIRED and we just want to retreat to our hiding place and do nothing. The best thing to do in those situations are sit down with the millions of books, thousands of things on your 'to do list', tons of people that need answers and just FACE THEM and GET IT ALL DONE...we all know that in order to accomplish things we need to do them right? RIGHT.


Well..what about emotions? what about when were just DONE. were exhausted. we don't want to deal with this, or were tired of handling that, or we just don't care about this...blah blah blah. it happens to all of us. Well what God says is to get into the light..go STRAIGHT to Him, lift it all up to Him...and let Him help you. We are not able to deal with everything that is placed in front of us. And if your anything like me, you love having more to do than you can handle. what if we have a new perspective on everything, what if we just say: I LOVE having so much to do because I LOVE being stressed out and I love handing it over to God and seeing how he helps me accomplish things.
          yea...it would be nice if we could remember that every day. im trying and the second it pops into my head..i smile and everything seems to feel SO MUCH BETTER. 


This week feels like it is going to last an eternity, but we all know its the same 7 days as every week (except for the 2 minutes less of light we see every day from now until the end of december..but thats irrelevant..anyways..). I keep thinking..can it be thanksgiving yet?..can i see my family yet?...can i see my fiance yet?...can i NOT open a book or a word doc or a power point YET?!?..but then I need to catch a breath and remind myself how incredibly lucky I am to be so busy..God has blessed me with the ability to breath, with the ability to go to grad school, and with the ability to be completely overwhelmed but yet still manage to finish everything....eventually.


WE ARE BLESSED.


HES GOT OUR BACK!!!!!!!


next time you feel overwhelmed, under-accomplished, lonely, tired, etc, etc, etc...look up to your AMAZING God and THANK Him for giving you these feelings and tasks and ask for his help. He doesn't give us what we cant handle...He lets us handle what we can and he backs us up to finish up the rest.
