Overwhelmed

Today I felt overwhelmed, anxious and tired. I touched base with Suzy after she had been enjoying a family vacation. I came away from the conversation with an enormous to do list. Some of it is big stuff (like receiving the truck from Uganda) that I don't want to mess up. I know this all has to be done, some ASAP some by next week, so I have no choice but to do it. But seeing my list has made me anxious and and stressed. Before we talked, I was just thinking, they will be back in six days, you can do this. It's just exhausting being the go to person all the time. But, I am glad they are getting a break. Then to be hit with more stuff made me hit a wall. Anyone of those things on their own, would be fine. But the combo overwhelmed me. I laid down and just started to cry. I think being sick for three weeks made me more emotional than usual. It turned into a "I wanna go home" moment. I realized then I didn't need to freak out alone. I have people here to support me. So, I went to Stephanie and asked her to pray for me. She did and I let out all the tears. I am now all cried out and feeling better. Just a little tired from the crying. However, I do feel God's peace now and will be ready to tackle the list tomorrow. I know that if God has called me to do this, he will provide the strength for me to accomplish this.

  3. Great comment, Amy. Thank you for caring for our friend so much. She needs good, supportive people around her. She is an amazing woman of God and our 'rock' in our group and we miss her. I wish I could be there to hug her and look her in the eyes to give an encouraging word but you can do that for me! I am so glad you and your husband are joining the team and look forward to hearing/reading the fun stories to come. Bless you both!
