AMEN is Right Nan... I read this is I could appreciate his feelings. So many times in my life I have felt the same way, like I was in open waters..... Stress.....
Last week I had a battle like this and I calmed myself down by Praying. Jesus uses these times to send us a message, He does to me any way.
When we are weakest, He is stronger. When we are in a valley we tend to listen better. He wants to communicate all the time, but we are too busy being "in control" of everything. It's only when we lose control that we go looking for help.
Sorry that we are on different time schedules, Rus. I enjoy your Daily Bread, but it seems I'm always about half a day late to say so. We started "fair week" today. Have to tend a booth for son's photography shop. It's hot, boring and tiring. I do get to say hello to eveyone in the county however.
I do pray that your time of stress is past and that you are feeling comforted. God bless.
