As often as our schedules allow, we sit down and watch Wipeout, wipe balls according to moo, as a family. Both our kids love it, and obviously we love watching people fall flat on their faces and generally make fools of themselves. My personal favorite "event" is probably the sweeper. It's always good for a laugh since it's not me enduring the embarrassment or hardship.
Lately though, I feel like I am getting pummeled by the emotional, mental, and physical "sweepers" in my life and it is wearing me out. No, it has worn me out. Too much of the crummy stuff, virtually none of the "good" stuff.
"I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil." Job 3:26
Too much of me, too little of God.
Too much worry, not enough prayer.
Too much conflict, not enough peace.
Too many accusations, not enough grace.
Too much stuff, too little joy.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11: 28-30
I am weary. I am burdened. And I am sick of it. So, I am going to led God lead again. :)

Thank you, I needed to read that! I think I will steal that! gods blessings! love you! :)
A couple days ago I 'took back' an issue I thought I had given to God. I copped the "I'LL take care of it now" kind of attitude. Like you said, too much of me, not enough of God. Yes, that was pretty miserable. I'm still learning how to not let circumstances get the best of me. Really liked the scripture you shared! Thanks.
