stress


It's been pretty crazy at work in the last few weeks. I feel like every day I am constantly on the go doing several things at once and always having a whole list of things that needed to be done the day before. Yuk.

Admittedly, the days go a lot faster during these busy times (too quickly in fact) and it's been good in a way because I have definitely not been feeling bored. But I have started to feel a bit stressed - kinda like the lady in the picture (I usually have a pretty organised system when it comes to work, but in recent weeks I have been inundated with work and my usually organised desk has turned ugly). I'm not normally the type to get stressed, well at least I don't think I am, but I have noticed it starting to creep up on me.

The other night I woke up thinking I needed to go and do an Ergonomic Assessment for someone and then I realised that I was in bed and then I had to spend the next few minutes telling myself there is no way that I had to do an Ergo right there and then - in my PJs - in my bedroom - on a weekend - in the middle of the night... Weird stuff. Sometimes it makes me wonder how God has wired our brains to be so convinced of things so absurd - well I guess that explains the people who believe in evolution hehe.

But I have found that the whole experience was (and is currently still) pointing me to a few key verses that I really need to cram into my brain...

Firstly...

Psalms 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

And to always remember...

Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Because...

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

God's Word is awesome. Once again He tells me that though I am faced with so much stuff and it just seems SO overwhelming, He is with me, He will give me the strength that I need, and that through His grace - it can and will be done.
