It doesn't take long to feel overwhelmed in our daily lives. Moms especially, while the masters of juggling many things, often find ourselves past our breaking point and feeling burnt out. I'm not sure about you, but it tends to sneak up on me when I least expect it. I seem to be able to manage many moving parts in general but one unexpected event, or added responsibility can cause me to teeter off. What can we do when feel that the walls are collapsing in around us? Running away is not the answer, although in many ways it feels like a viable option. Instead we have to turn to the Source of our strength and lean in to His power when we find ourselves at the end of our ropes.
Whether we are feeling financial or emotional pressure, marriage strain or any other myriad of other things, one constant remains.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change
James 1:17
