That pretty well sums up how I feel today. I have a messy house that I have GOT to clean, and it's a busy Wednesday --- the boys have homeschool PE and homeschool Bible club....then we have church tonight. (And I haven't even looked at what we're doing in GA's). Oh, and did I mention we still have to do school and it's already 9:30? Add to that the financial stress of knowing we have a birthday party to throw this weekend and very little money in which to throw it....well, overwhelmed may be an understatement.
I love Psalm 61:2 and find myself repeating it when I feel like this. My paraphrase - "when my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the Rock that is higher than I." I can picture Jesus leading me up a rocky mountain to a beautiful, smooth, enormous rock, and when I sit down, the view is breathtaking. And I feel peace....and Jesus and I just sit there, breathing in the beauty and the calm that envelops us. Ahh.....
So I will go lay down Sissy for her nap and get the boys started on school, and in my heart, I will know that Jesus is right there, waiting for me, to lead me to that Rock that is higher than I; the Rock that never gets overwhelmed but is a steady, strong fortress.

It is nice to know that we serve a God who is bigger than our circumstances. I hope you have a productive day!
Praying the rest of your week was filled with peace.
