When my heart is Overwhelmed ...

Recently ... 
                      life was busy ... 
                                                   days seemed often to happen in a blur ...  
                                                                              
just as though your little life was a roller coaster ... 
full of all those legitimate things that are just a must in life: 
 - meal preparation
 - schoolwork for children
 - tennis lessons for 3, swimming lesson for 1
 - extra singing and audio drama practice for 3 with another 3 onboard ;)
 - washing, ironing, mending too
 - trying to be a helpmeet to my dear husband wherever and however the Lord leads
 - the constant character building lessons not only for children but also for me!!!
 - meetings both the English assembly meetings as well as Spanish gospel meetings and  
     Bible study
 - food preparation to do with these meetings
 - throw in a Spanish "sunday school" preparation now and again 
 - many kilometres (as well as the time and to be ready in time before for travel time) to and
    fro from meetings
 - did I say, housework and grocery shopping 

well, it would seem like I'm complaining, wouldn't it ... but no, don't take it like that ... it's just that life is busy ...

then ... 

all of a sudden the enemy of our souls throws a little spanner into the works, 

no, it's not big, it's not important ... but oh, how it weighs down the soul ... especially because you can see his evil hand trying to destroy God's work and the blessing seen in God's work. 

Your heart agonises ... you pray ... you feel there is no easy way out ... yes, it may be true ... but you KNOW it is not God's doing ... 

When to God's Word you turn ... 
                                                            and ...
        
God gives you the words your aching heart needed to hear:


When my heart is overwhelmed: 
                                                            LEAD ME TO THE ROCK 
                                                            THAT IS HIGHER THAN I !!!!!

Psalm 61 v 2
