Keeping Your Sanity

Life can drive you crazy, literally. I have been looking for a job off and on for the past two years. I have finally come to the end of my resources and I am living on credit cards. Not a big deal because I never hold balances. Every once and a while if I need a couple of month’s credit, I am okay with that. However, it is sinking in that no one is calling me. I keep checking my resume to see if my phone number is correct. In addition, my tuition is due at the beginning of August, not to mention rent, a car payment (almost done) and insurance.

As I ponder my options stress sets in…but everything’s fine right? Someone on the elevator politely asked my how I was doing. I decided to tell the truth and realized that it brought me to the verge of tears. What do we do when there is nothing we can do about our situation, when life is about to knock us in the face and we see it coming?

Mental stability is a precious gift. At one of the most stressful moments in my life I knew I needed something (or it turned out someone) that was bigger than the problems in my life. That was the moment I met God. Long story short, while I do not always get what I want, God has taught me to trust Him even when the most difficult circumstances seem impossible.

Is anything too hard for God? Genesis 18:14
