Weeknight reflection

Just thought I'd share a quick note with you. Life can be completely overwhelming at times. Between the bills, parenting, work and the holidays, it can absolutely feel like at any moment the world will fall if it's axis. As I drove home tonight after a very long day I looked up to the sky pleading with all of Heaven to send immediate reprieve. I could only think of was one verse. "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want". I repeated it over and over for about 8 miles. I repeated it until I actually believed what I have recited 100's of times.
After stopping at the grocery store, I walked into the house, kicked off my heels and quickly made dinner. Kitchen half way cleaned, laundry still unfolded on the love seat, I decide to sit down. 
Life gets crazy hectic at times. Sometimes I just want to keep driving that 15 freeway North and hideout in a cool, dark hotel room and just sleep for three or four days. But, what I know for sure is that somehow, someway. God comes in and restores my soul even in the midst of the storm. 
I'm just gonna lay here in my nearly dark living room and cast my cares on Him because He cares for me.



God bless,
J~

  1. This is so true, much of what seemingly overwhelms us is what we think we can do but can't. Sometimes, it is necessary to slow down a bit; rest well. We endeavor to do so much at our own expense - it's good to know that you/we learn to rest in God's care before we lose a grip on what we can control. Praying that you will continue to cast your cares on Him as you rest assured of why you can - He cares for you! Stay blessed, a blessing & encouraged!
