Do you ever feel overwhelmed??? I know I do. Joanne Heim reminds us to start small in her book “Living Simply”… and to organize one thing when things are overwhelming. But honestly… I am finding that that alone isn’t enough for me at certain times in my life. Often my feelings of stress and overwhelmedness are only stilled when I remember to be like a child. Here is the cool part. God really WANTS to simplify our lives. He says that we should have childlike faith. That there is nothing to worry about. That we should trust him and run to him… like a child. And I find that when I run obediently to Him throughout my day..even when lifes events, my husband, my teenagers, my preschooler, my toddler or myself is causing life to be less than simple… obeying and being real-- just as I am, spilling it all to him.. the good bad and ugly of what I am feeling--that is what turns it around. Simply obeying Him even when life is overwhelming. Anyone agree?
