Do you ever just have one of those days? You feel overwhelmed and like you just want to go home and snuggle on the couch? Yeah, that’s been me lately. Between getting sick, being bummed about the marathon, being crazy busy at work, having a seemingly endless number of social obligations, wedding planning and trying to keep myself sane, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. I’ve had to take a step back and realize that part of the reason I’ve been feeling so crazy is that I’ve been trying to accomplish all the tasks I have to do in my own strength instead of relying on The Lord. I haven’t been praying how I should, I haven’t been in the word like I should and I can literally feel that. My faith is the most important part of my life and when it takes a backseat, it affects everything else that is going on in my life.
The freedom of being able to cast your cares on God is such an amazing feeling. What do you do when you need to recharge your faith (in whatever it is that you believe in)?
Great post and thanks for the perspective!
thanks ma’am! 🙂
Thank you for this post! I always love to reconnect to my faith and your post is a great reminder. When I am struggling I just remind myself to surrender ALL to God and trust God fully and completely. (And be patient and listen!!!!)

YES! especially to the be patient and listen part 🙂
I love this! I feel this so often too. I just get out my Bible. Start reading, underlining, and journaling as I pray and sing praises. One of my favorite sayings is “Worship over worry”. I wish I remembered it more often than I do.

worship over worry — i love that!!! so good!
Amen, girlie! That is one of the reasons I changed the name of my blog to the good life. Because it wasn’t only about running and eating healthy. My faith is also part of what makes my life good.
