...and breathe

If your anything like me, you lead a real busy life with lots to do.
Yesterday i reached exhaustion point. Ive only been in my new job 16 days, but so much stuff has happened in that time. Ive moved county, changed jobs, made new friends and tried to settle in to busy suburban London life.
I'm exhausted, so many people to meet and so many places to explore. Each day i discover something new. Its taking its toll on my brain! eek.
I felt yesterday afternoon that i just need to take time to breathe, hence the title '... and breathe'.
Take time yo chill and relax. Take time to study the word of God and to seek His strength.
Life is such an emotional journey. Maybe as your reading this you will be having a fresh start this year, maybe new job or off to uni for the 1st time or even maybe your moving away from home, and don't know ANYBODY, that was me just over two weeks ago. I moved to London for my new job, where i didn't know anyone, or anywhere or even how the transport system worked.
Ive learnt a lesson this past couple of weeks, and that is i cant do this on my own. Its such an effort if i rely on my own strength and ability. One of my fave verses in the bible is Philippians 4:13 which says 'I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.' Such an amazing verse.
Without Gods strength id be so screwed up right now. He helps me daily. Every morning we have a prayer meeting before we start work, at church, this as really helped me to seek Gods strength for the day ahead.
These are the random thoughts of a man sat in Starbucks who is feeling tired and in need of a holiday! But i hope that through reading them you will be encouraged in some way.

My big point is: Hand it over the God in prayer, rely on him for strength and trust that He has a plan for you and loved you before the dawn of time.
