If you have been following any of my blogs lately you will see that I am working on a total life makeover. I am working on everything from, my spiritual health, my mental, physical and emotional well-being, and my career. It sounds like a lot and it is. It is an extreme makeover, no time to work on just one thing.
It is time now to become all that God sent me here to be so why not do it all? Well now I feel overwhelmed. I feel frustrated and almost defeated in my efforts. I know myself and when I feel this way something or maybe everything will come to a screeching halt. I throw in the towel because it seems too much to tackle. But this time I will change my outlook. I am not going to throw in the towel, but I am going to lean and depend on God.
I already know I can’t do any of this in my own strength so why would I even try? I am stopping right where I am and asking God to direct me to exactly what I need to spend my energy on. If it is everything in small doses then that is what I will do, or if He tells me to work on one thing at a time then I will do that too. But most importantly, I will seek Him for direction.
It helps when you have people surrounding you that understand you. Some people need that gentle word of encouragement; some of us need the drill Sargeant type to push us to our maximum; others just need an ear along with some empathy.
So don’t get discouraged when things get overwhelming for you, don’t throw in the towel and settle for ordinary. Seek God for the answers and strength that you need and push through to extraordinary.
Be encouraged and continue to move forward, God will guide you! And that’s a word for myself.
