The New Normal

I feel overwhelmed.

I feel overwhelmed because I’m busy doing stuff.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s all uber-important stuff….to me.

I wonder what I SHOULD be doing?

I wonder if I should even be DOING anything?

I need to make a list.

No, I need to take my current list and re-prioritize it.

Wait, maybe I need to throw this list away and make a new one with the most important things at the top.

Rest?

um..that’s not on the list.

Work needs me.

Family needs me.

The world needs ME!

What?

Did I just really say that?

YUCK!

I have too much clutter..too much noise..

How can I possibly hear what God is saying to me underneath all of these overwhelming lists and responsibilities????

I’ve heard of Mary and Martha..

I know the drill.

I’ve read the stories.

“Be still and know that He is God”..right..I get it.

But HOW?

Maybe the new Eastridge sermon series starting this week will help me sort this out..

Less Clutter | Less Noise (begins Sunday October 3, 9:00am & 10:45am)

Can anyone relate?

What has your stressed out and overwhelmed right now?
