So today it has rained pretty much all day. It is cool, damp, and gloomy. That is kind of how I would describe my mood today too. Gloomy. We have been fighting with AT &T since May 4 over taking a payment out of our account more than once. Since that time we have had over a thousand dollars in fee. They are not wanting to pay, and finally today we went to our bank and the bank manager called ATT. They say they are working on it. But good grief. This causes some pretty major messes...that will take some time I am sure to clean up. It is frustrating. and a little overwhelming.

School is overwhelming right now too. The class I am in, American Literature, is very time consuming. A lot of reading, a lot of writing. and it is the end of the school year which means life in general is crazy. The kids will be at of school at the end of this month, and we will get Brooklyn ready for high school It just doesn't seem possible. Wasn't it just yesterday I held her in my arms? Time, there never seems to be enough of it.

So, there are so many things going on right now and frankly sometimes I feel like I am in over my head. I mean seriously over my head. People having major crisis, families needing complete healing, relationships that need mended and burdens that need to be lifted. I am thankful that I serve a God who does not become overwhelmed with the hurts and pains that are all around us. I am so glad he hears and understands each one. And he is never once caught off guard by any circumstance or crisis. He is prepared and has already gone to where we each our going.

Job lost everything he had within a matter of minutes and you know what his response was?? "At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship" Job 1:20. He worshiped. I wish I was in that place, when the first thing I did in the midst of a crisis was fall to the ground and worship. Being in the presence of The MOST Holy God, is our privilege and God wants to meet us there. Nothing happens to us that doesn't first pass through Him. Oh that I might worship Him.

So tonight, in the midst of my this gloomy day, I am going to have a worship service, right here in my living room. Praising the God who loves me and holds me in His arms. He has everything, every detail already worked out in every situation. S
