Hey there!
It has been awhile. Somehow life just got a hold of me for the past week and would not let go. I am sure it is no coincidence I have been overwhelmed with "life" lately now that I am working on being intentional.
Anyone else feeling challenged by life lately?
I am so there. Worn out physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Sick kids, birthday parties, field trips, friends who have recently lost jobs, illness in the church, friends who have lost a parent, troubled economy, Texans recovering from hurricane Ike, upcoming election. I could go on and on. Heavy issues that drain.
It is tough times for everyone.
This is what I know though and I am placing my hope in this truth.
God is still God. He is on His throne and He is unchanging and unmoveable.
He is "I AM". I will sleep at night clinging to that truth.
Listen to this song by Nichole Nordeman. It is beautiful and I have been listening to it quite a bit recently. It's called, "I Am". Hope you enjoy it.
Let me know how you are doing lately.
Take care,
Julie

About Me
- Tales From the Eurovan
- My name is Julie and I am a mom to 3 kids, 2 boys and 1 girl. I have been married to my husband for almost 13 years. I am a Christian, saved by God's grace. I am convinced that God loves me, in fact is wild about me, which just goes to show what an amazing God we serve considering I never thought I would believe that statement.

Hey there! I have no idea what happened with this post and the spacing! I didn't do so many spaces!
Take care,
Julie
Julie, my dear - I've been feeling the same way you have! I'm clinging to that truth, too - that God is "I AM" - it's what gets me thru each day.
Praying for you, sweetie - and for all the rest of us who are feeling the same way!
Yes Julie. I think we are all feeling a little overwhelmed. My to-do list seems to grow exponentially every day. And the spacing thing - happens to me all the time! I had to cancel my whole post today and try to redo because the pictures messed the whole thing up. Frustrating!
I am so overwelmed I dont sleep anymore. Glad to hear I am not alone
Oh, Julie. Been there, done that, and the t-shirt still fits. Overwhelm has become my new name. Sigh. I am thankful that I have God to cling to and to show me my many blessings.
julie, praying for you - I know how overwhelming life can get!
I am not a huge shopper, but when we go Easton is the place...I love being able to walk outside. And I love the European phone booths- nice touch.
I can't wait to hear what you think of the movie!
looking forward to some more thoughts from julie:)
