Peace

    I need this message this week, so I know someone else does.

   Peace can be very hard to find these days. Between your 150+ Facebook friends, each demanding your attention, comments, and RSVP's, and the drama that goes with that. To the days that seem to just last forever yet the whole time you can't even catch your breath long enough to think, much less calm down. Then there's the demands of the report (whether it be for your job or school) that must be turned in first thing Monday morning (so your weekend has just gone down the toliet.) Or, in my case, being taught how to drive and the newness and adrinaline rush that is. Or the kids (siblings, your children, etc) that each need 100% of you, and you can barely get away long enough to take a bath.

     These days are the devil's playground. One single "UGHH" shows you're off line, and we're all guilty of letting those 'What the heck!', 'This stinks!' or 'Well if he/she would just do....then my life would be fine' comments come in our head.

    Jesus never complained that His pallet was too full, and we know what He had (and has) to do.

    God promises to never give us more than we can handle. He knows our limits.

    The next time we're faced with one of these days we have to find the cure. Mine's a hot shower, a prayer, and blaring 'DC Talk' music as loud as I can on my desktop. Then go face the world, be the bigger person and apologize to anyone who needs it, be humble enough to admit your handled it poorly, and be Christ-like enough to say 'I can handle all things through Christ. BRING IT ON!'
