That Overwhelming Feeling

I am sure we all have those seasons in life where it just seems like we are drowning in details.  That seems to be the season I am in.  I am constantly making lists.  Lists for my classroom, lists of things to do outside of school and lists for preparing for Togo.  It seems that as soon as I get everything organized and feel like I have a good grasp on things, more items pile on.  How do I deal with it?  Well, sometimes there is crying (okay, a lot of crying) and other times I just ignore it all and put it off for another day.  How should I deal with it?  Take it to the Lord.  I need to be constantly in prayer and committing my plans to Him.  I don't do this as much as I should.  What do I know?  God is good.  I am excited for this path He has put me on and I pray I can do it for His glory.

I memorized Psalm 63:1-4 and it is a great reminder of God's sovereignty, steadfast love, and I will bless His name.

A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.

O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.
Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.
So I will bless you as long as I live;
in your name I will lift up my hands.
