http://denisemira.com/blog/2008/05/24/when-mom-teacher-wife-hits-the-wall/ Ordinary is not good enough. Normal will not change the world. We are No Ordinary People, created by No Ordinary God, for No Ordinary Purpose. I refuse to live a Beige life, carrying out Business As Usual. Boring. I choose to live an adventure as a daughter of the King of Kings. I invite you to join me! It won't always be pretty, but it will be genuine, and we will have an impact where we live.

I have 4 wonderful boys(11-6 years), but I need that verse often. Right now as we are finishing off the year, I often get overwhelmed with planning for next year, and the summer, and trying to clean up around the house, and this, and that. So where is my mind...not on Him. Another verse "delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart" His word is filled with wonderful promises!!! I love it. He is your strenth and your peace. Cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you!!! He loves you and wants you to give it to Him, Marie. God Bless you and may the Lord give you peace of mind!!

There are times when we do need to set things to one side for a season and just get renewed in Christ and refocus. When ALL is overwhelming we need to end up where we should have been in the first place, at Gods feet. I think we get so caught up in life, ministry, homeschooling, etc. we forget the most important thing and that is to be a daughter to the King first. If we are not daughters first then we will struggle to be anything else. Marie, allow God to do what he must. Be his daughter and allow him to be your father. He loves you so much and he wants to be the very center of it all. I may not know you but consider yourself hugged and I will be praying for you.
