Sometimes I feel like that camel in the picture, and now is one of those times....
My mom is back in the hospital, which indicates that the doctors did not fix the true source of the bleeding last time. I place her into God's Hands for there is no better place for her to be. However, it is still disheartening to have gone through everything the last time, thinking she was on the road to recovery; only to find that we have to go through it all again. And this time, there are some additional things to deal with as well. I just continue to trust God to work all things together for good.
I also have had all the normal things to take care of as well - class, AV, search committee, work, home, etc. And on top of that, I committed to organizing the Thanksgiving Dinner for the Yes House as well, which has required a lot of planning, shopping, administering, etc. For awhile, I had already felt on the verge of being overwhelmed, and in some ways, my mom's hospitalization and illness almost feels like the last straw.
However, I know that God is faithful. There are many people who are praying; and I do feel strengthened by that. God also blessed me affirming that what I was doing to help my mom last week was useful, that I am providing valuable support for AV (God enabled me to help resolve an issue yesterday in the middle of worship) and that people in class have gained from the study through Acts and enjoyed the video (they even clapped afterwards). God is all I need.
