You hit the nail on the head when you said, "Somehow, I seem to tell myself I should be able to handle it all and I try to take it all on with my own strength." It's amazing how that lie sneaks up on us!! Thank you for the reminder that I need to bring it all to him, big or small (and it's mostly small!!) Lund Oh, by far it’s the everyday stresses.

I pray so much thru my trials. I have severe back problems that have forced me to quit working, but I see this as God taking me down a different path. I know he has so much in store for me. But as much as my back hurts, I know that there are people so much worse off than me, so when I start feeling sorry for myself, I remember God's promise to me, that he will take of me and my needs.

Throughout this past week, as I was struggling with the same kind of "every day" junk . . . . exhaustion, time pressure, over-commitment, on and on and on . . . I frequently remembered Heather and her family, and prayed! I'm glad I remembered to pray, but the other benefit was that when I was overwhelmed with how much I had to do RIGHT NOW, I was struck with the thought that, at least, I had the ability to do those things. I'm thankful for your words of encouragement! Nina Janice - thanks for the reminder!
