Drowning in this life
"Imagine you're drowning, and then someone hands you a schedule."
Those words above are how a friend of mine described how a busy summer is to him. It just seemed like a joke to me at first, until yesterday morning when those words kept getting repeated over and over in my mind. He talked about how he has so much to do and then on top of having so much to do he gets handed more things that need to be done.
Someday's I feel as if I'm drowning in an ocean and so many things weigh me down that I just sink farther and farther down. Its like I'm underwater and doing everything a drowning person will do except actually drowning and when I feel that I can't take anymore "water" someone hands me a big bucket full of water and tells me to drink it.
My life is crazy busy almost always and most days I don't feel like living let alone getting out of bed and doing what God has called me to do. Each day seems like a constant battle inside my head.
Then, I realize that I'm trying to deal with everything all on my own. God knows what he is doing and instead of constantly asking God why he allows me to wake up everyday I need to just trust. When i'm feeling overwhelmed and drowned in life I need to come to Jesus and rest in his arms. Everyday I need to make it a priority to give Jesus all of my struggles and rest in his embraceable love. Jesus is my lifeguard and He is saving me daily from drowning in my daily struggles and tasks.
So when you are drowning and then someone hands you a schedule, choose Jesus. The devil loves to get us down and when we are focusing on all the busyness and letting our emotions take over, we are letting the devil be our masters. We can only serve 1 master. Let that master be Jesus Christ.
