A Week In Review

“Send me three words to describe how your past 5 days have been.” – A company wide email from our Executive Director

I was not totally sure what to say. One of the newer ones in the office and, although the week had been full, I didn’t know that I could narrow it down to just 3 words. I like words! I write – now I have to sum it all up in 3 words?! I landed on: Finding a balance.

Which was totally true of my week. To balance prayer, Bible reading, work, tele-conferencing meetings, kids, homeschooling, cooking/meal prep – suddenly has been more of a challenge than when I went into the office. So, “finding a balance.”

He came up with a creative way to illustrate everyone’s (who responded) thoughts. Reviewing the graphic, I was a bit surprised. Sure, it has been busy and even taking some getting used to, but stressful, overwhelmed… My heart goes out to those…

I had a coworker reach out the other day, Can we chat later, I’m in tears.

Amidst the COVID-19, stay home orders and such, people are panicking, feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

Praying for you. I wanted her to know.

This week has been full, still, I managed to connect with friends and family. I have no complaints about anything from this past week.

For the stressed and overwhelmed, I am saying a special prayer today. I pray that God’s peace and comfort surround you in a real and tangible way. That when you feel it, you will know, it was only by His hands.

“Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee…” Psalms‬ ‭55:22a‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I want to ask you to reflect on your past week. How has it been? Do you feel the same as the graphic above? Any other insights to share?
