“So when the pain comes in like rain from the parts of life that maintains its strain, I can put my trust in the hands that sustain. It’s profound that with all these sinking ships around me, He surrounds me and He anchors me with His grace abounding.”
-Anchor, by Beautiful Eulogy-

What. A. Day! My brain is throbbing, in facts it actually hurts my head when people talk to me. My poor mom just wants to relay the happenings of her day, but I don’t want to hear a sound, think a thought, or solve a problem. Not only was the day busy beyond imagination, but not one, but two of my favorite patients incurred devastating set backs in their treatment. I am so done today. The whole day I felt like I was a hamster on a wheel spinning and spinning, but going nowhere. I heard my names so many times today I actually contemplated changing it. Was there a full moon last night? Ever have days like that? The nature of my job, makes this type of day a frequent occurrence. On most days I am prepared and can handle it, today it just felt bigger than me. Then I remembered life is like that, there will be days when the situation, or circumstances will be bigger than us. That however, does not mean we are incapable or incompetent; it simply means we have something new to learn. Today on several occasions my mind went blank as I tried to find a solutions to the problems at hand. There were times I felt panicked, but God (ahhh, I love those words) stepped in calmed my nerves and reminded me that He is with me in the storm and while the waters may rage I would not drown because He is my boat and my anchor. There will be days when the water gets so high we will feel like we are about to be swallowed up, but remember this: GOD IS OUR BOAT AND OUR ANCHOR.

“He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed” (Psalm 107:29).

So what’s my plan? But GOD…
