OVERLOAD

This has been quite a week.  We’re in the midst of a garage sale, downsizing our living space, getting rid of a lot of unnecessary clutter in our life and looking forward to more organization in our lives.  Add to that the fact that my husband broke one of his front teeth and the outlook of a couple thousand dollars in dental work, along with bad news about a friend’s health, a blog site that’s giving me fits at the moment and normal every day living has set my mind (what’s left of it) spinning.

There are times when we just can’t fit one more thing onto our plates, but God happens to know what our limits.  He has promised that we will not have to endure anything more than we can handle and He’s also provided a way out from under the weight of it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

What a great consolation that is when it seems like there is no end to the problems we face on a daily basis.  To top it off, those troubles are common to all of us as a result of original sin, but God is so in love with us, that He took the burden of sin upon Himself and promises us eternal, perfect life in heaven.

So next time you feel overwhelmed or overloaded, remember how special you are to the Creator of all things.  Them you will realize that the concerns of this world are miniscule in comparison.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    Ok, so you want to know now how I’m seeing your posts…they are coming in via e-mail.
    When I clicked to un follow then clicked to re follow I got a little notice that now said I would receive an e-mail for each new post. How weird is that???

      I’m going to have to investigate this when my life slows down a bit. Right now on overload. My brain can’t focus on much thinking at all. Thanks for keeping me updated. I’ll look into this soon. Have a blessed weekend.

    and now, I’ve gone back in unfollowed, refollowed with the notice telling me you’ll now appear in my reader—I go to the reader and you’re not there—but I will wait to see if you come back via e-mail—how crazy!!
    I hate technology 🙂
