I am not sure where to begin with this post. What happens when life seems so overwhelming? Sometimes life is not fair. We all face trials and circumstances that sometimes might seem overwhelming. There is hope though today.
To protect my heart from discouragement, I often ask God to remind me of times when He has worked in ways I couldn’t have imagined, in my life and the lives of others. Recently He reminded me of Joseph’s story (Genesis 37-50). It reads like a series of very unfortunate events!
Imagine being beaten and thrown into a pit, sold as a slave and then relocated to a foreign country where you are falsely accused of a crime you didn’t commit and banished to die in prison. And to make matters worse, what if your siblings had initiated this evil against you?

God gives us more than we can handle, because we are never meant to handle it all on our own. The better question is does God give us more than HE can handle? And the answer to that is absolutely not!
Our hope is meant to be found in him and what he is able to accomplish. If our hope is based on our circumstances and chance, we are to be most pitied. Because quite frankly, life does not always go the way we planned. And it is not always perfect. In fact, sometimes it is downright abysmal.

Although I enjoyed my visit, to say I’m beat would be an understatement. I’ve had a lot going on these last three weeks and I am ready. to. go. home! As free spirited as I can be, after too long I start craving my bed, my food, my surroundings, and my routine. If I go too long without those things I can get a little “off” and overwhelmed.
Lucky for me, as soon as this plane lands, I’m going to go right into what I call my “mini reset.” When life gets crazy and I just need to get my mental, physical, and spiritual “groove” back, I call “time out!” on everything and spend a few days getting myself recalibrated.
The following are steps you can do to “reset” at anytime you are feeling overwhelmed. These steps aren’t hard and you can do as often as you need to. Also, you can do any of these steps on their own, but I find that if you do each one at a time, in order, you’ll feel the greatest impact. Here’s the process I like to call my “mini-reset on life”:
