How did I get here?
By Tuesday things were not going well for Jesus. He had made a mess overturning the tables of the money changers in the temple. He had a lot of explaining to do and knew that time was running out. In my life when I often feel confused and frustrated that life is not going the way I planned. How did I end up in this mess? How do I deal with this very difficult person? Why didn’t I see that coming?! Why do I have to deal with that health or family issue when so many around me don’t? How could I have misjudged how this would play out? These are the times I rely most heavily on my faith to guide me and comfort me. I have to believe that God will show me the way because sometimes it’s just too much. Then I take a deep breath, whisper to myself Guide me and trudge through the mess until I get to the other side.
yes. it's my real name. 
Thank you for your words of encouragement, Weeks. It was just what I needed today as I sit here on my iPad, putting off my work day.
Too often, I get frustrated and forget that I can just hand it over to God; that he always has the solution.
Blessings.
Onward.

Great thoughts, Weeks. I took on a lot in March, vowed to back off, but said yes to helping friends in the last week. I had excruciating back pain while on spring break, causing me to have some R & R. After Holy Week, I will prioritize better and reflect on needs, not wants. I shall put guilt aside when I say no. That doesn’t mean I don’t care, but shows that I do care, because one doesn’t do their best when they are spread too thin!

Thank you. I’ve been very shy about writing about my faith, worried that it was too personal and that no one would be interested so I very much appreciate the encouragement.
