Do you ever just feel overwhelmed?

The floor needs sweeping,

the dishwasher emptying,

the washing machine filling,

there is vacuuming to be done,

dinner decisions to be made…

+

Then there are emails to answer,

plans to be undertaken,

journeys to undergo..

there are petitions to sign,

causes to support,

so many cry for justice,

so many….

maybe I will write,

am I procrastinating? (probably)…

+

I have a broken chair in the garrage,

it needs to go to the tip,

along with a broken cat frame,

they didn’t use it,

a waste of money…

I need to start clearing,

anyone want some books?

+

there are books I want to read,

and I haven’t been for a walk for days,

it’s just too much sometimes….

+

Maybe I’ll go back to bed,

maybe not

+

how do I pray in the midst of this?

can I flee like Elijah to a cave?

Will you find me here,

will you bring me to life?

Can even these dry bones live?

Can living water flow again?
