eaglei Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Overwhelmed and sinking. That is how I feel today. Everything is just so hard. No breaks anywhere. More piling on. I feel so defeated. Every situation is so utterly major and so totally out-of-control, over-the-top. If I took one of those tests that targets the major areas of life that cause stress, I’d be way over the limit. Sometimes I wonder just where God is. Other times I know He’s here, working behind the scenes. It would be nice to see some of that behind-the-scenes stuff, nice to see some results. Today I just wonder where God is, and if anything will ever get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglei Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks everyone. My apologies for not getting back sooner - I've been on here both yesterday and earlier today, but I didn't dare look at this thread ... for some reason afraid (irrationally so) that there'd either be no response or else a sermon - and I couldn't bear either ... Sorry ... You all are so kind - and I appreciate the hugs and the prayers you offered so very much. Yesterday the oddest thing happened (your prayers and kind thoughts at work, no doubt :001_smile:). About midway through the day I suddenly became aware that a portion of a song was going through my mind and, try as I did, I simply could not fetch up the rest of the words, nor could I get the thing to stop - it was like a broken record - round and round and round - but - the message was positive and it got me productively through the day. It was this: "And when the battle's over, we shall wear a crown, yes, we shall wear a crown..." Over and over and over. Now today - that's another story. Today began - BEGAN - with more bad news. Honestly, I've had enough . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchel210 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I was reading someones blog this week and they had a picture of a book they had been reading...Easier Than You Think ...because life doesn't have to be so hard: The Small Changes That Add Up to a World of Difference.... I have to say...Go see if they have any of those CD's at the library by you...I checked out one of his books and the set of CDs and I put them in the car. I am feeling so much better...It is nothing heavy...just kind of helps you though your day! It is working for me. Dont get me wrong...Ive only listened to 1 1/2 cds...and today I was a bit crazy but I had a much easier time! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hang in there. I've had those days. I believe that we are meant to go through hard times because we have lessons to learn. It has helped me handle the tougher times. I try to find a lesson in it all. Surprisingly, I have found one in every single rough patch, even if it was the leson that I never want to go through that again! It gets better. It always gets better.
