Overwhelmed...
This morning, I feel overwhelmed...
crushed... jammed... pushed to the very limits of my capacity...
I find myself struggling desperately... trying with all my might... exerting my all in all...
yet...something within my spirit tells me, "It's not enough! Try harder!
work longer, faster, more efficiently, more deligently.... Give it your all....
But...I've given it my all! I've given everything I have to give--my life, my time, talents, tithes...the total tenth...and more. I've poured tons of love... my total being... I've given my all..... What more can I give? What more can I do?
And... His still small voice within me whispered... "Enough, my child; enough! You've given your best, and that's enough! Relax. Come, now, into my kingdom and find peace, joy, hope, rest... everlasting....

Written after rushing desparately to get to church, only to discover after I rushed to the car in the pouring, bitterly cold rain that, in the midst of the time change, I'm an hour late anyway!
Devastated, defeated, totally destitute and disgusted; I decided to stay at home after all. Besides, I have an afternoon engagement. Too much...too many demands on my time and weak, aching body, my tired, depleted spirit, my weak, weary soul. To much!
Thany you, Lord, for your still small voice that speaks to me in moments of dismay and utter desperation! Thank you, Lord, for your blessings!
