Why do I always feel overwhelmed?
I don't know if it is my personality or how I deal with stress, but I always feel overwhelmed. Sometimes Dave says "Rochelle, calm down," as he hugs me and rubs my back. Of course I could never be as calm as him. I usually feel as if my life is a hurricane and once in a while I can calm it down to a heavy rain storm. I do have those quiet moments to read a book or draw a picture but it seems too rare. I am not sure why I expect my life to be calm and quiet, since I have two exhurberant boys. Maybe that is what needs to change, my expectations. The Lord gave me two healthy boys. I should be grateful and try to embrace what I have. Prayer for today: "Lord, instead of murmuring swear words when I am frustrated with my children or my life, instead help me turn to you for peace and remember that I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

Wow, I was searching for answers as to why I was also this way; and your blog popped up. I am also married to an engineer and have three children two boys and a girl. My husband is also calm and collected all the time and I am the one running around in all directions it seems, I am very organized, mostly because I feel the inner me is not; and it soothes me to see things in their place. Clutter and messy rooms make me anxious. There are days when I wish I was more like my husband too I suppose. He is very left brain; calm, collected,analytical, and determined. Although we have very different character we compliment each other very well. I sometime feel my problem is that I want to do it all at the same time and I am horrible at delegating. I am learning learning though to trust in God, that he will continue to lead me in my journey to inner peace and organisation. God luck with your journey!
I have not looked at my blog in a very long time. You are the very first person to make a comment. I still struggle with feeling in control of my life, but I am learning to take one day at a time and rely on God. I am glad to hear that I am not the only person who has trials about being stressed. Thanks for the encouragement!
