The Planet of Cham

get overwhelmed from time to time. I may not show it, but I do. I allow things to overwhelm me to the point of frustration, aggravation, and sometimes apathy every so often. It might just be for a a few minutes or a few days, but it happens. It can happen to the best of us. We all process things different, but we all eventually get overwhelmed, burned out, tired, and ready to go run off somewhere or quit. Most of the time it pushes us to go in to a "coasting" mode. We just coast through everything whether it is directly associated with the situation that is overwhelming us or not. We just don't feel like doing anything. I have found out how to battle this. Its find a hiding place.

     I have been locked in to a song called "Hiding Place" by New Life Worship. It is an incredible song. To sum up the song, it pretty much sings about finding a resting place in God. I think that is so key. I am find out that no matter where I am, at what time, or what is happening, I can take a few minutes to get in to my hiding place. This hiding place is the presence of God. The psalmist say, "in your presence there is fulness of joy". That is so true. When I find myself overwhelmed with life's issues, events, or problems, I take a minute to get in to God's presence...even if it's just a few minutes. I makes a world of difference. HE recharges you, and takes away that weight that feels so heavy from the situation that you are in. I am learning more and more that it's God's presence is where we thrive and survive. I leave you with the lyrics of the song...
