So…
Yesterday was my second day back in LA, and I hit overwhelm…
You know when you are driving and you start crying and you don’t know why…
That feeling you get when you take a wrong turn and you are more frustrated than usual, that space where you just need to stop and sit for a while or you just might explode…
That was my yesterday.
The thought of moving over here, (with all the complexities of this city, a culture I don’t know, a community I’m not a part of, a surprisingly varied vocab and more roads to get lost on than hairs on my head…) sent my thoughts into melt down.
What am I thinking? I don’t have any money! I don’t have anywhere to live! I don’t have a visa yet! I don’t know anyone in Irvine, and this task seems impossible!
What should I do? What do I need to do? My thoughts were racing out of control…
And then I remembered the words of my Mother! (She stole them from the Bible)….
“Take every thought captive to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:5
So… I pulled the car over, sat in a Chik-fil-A (yummo!!), had coffee, and read my Bible and my journal and reminded myself that Jesus did not entrust Himself to men, for He knew their hearts, He trusted God alone. John 2:24.
I may tell myself this is crazy and impossible, and others may (and have) say the same thing.
But I trust God, and that is what I need to do when I am overwhelmed… trust God.

You are in my prayers Andrew I share similar feelings and need to actively trust and know who God is!!!! There is no other way AT ALL ……you are not alone even though it feels that way we need to support each other in prayer on this journey heavenward you are in mine. π Sandy ;)ππ
