January 2007, I went on staff at Mount Paran North as the Preschool Director and then became the Children’s Creative Ministry Team Director. I loved working with the children and seeing their smiling faces and getting all those hugs. It was not easy adjusting to being a Mom and working though. I really felt overwhelmed. You moms know what I am saying. Some days were good — some days were awful. I wanted to scream so loud I CAN’T DO THIS. That is when I prayed for God to give me strength and freshness for each new day.
13-18Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out.
Ephesians 6:13-18 (The Message)
Feeling overwhelmed in this LIFE.
