When all else fails.

What do you do when all else fails? As a woman I encounter the daily struggles of raising kids as a single parent. There never seems to be any "me" time. Dating is impossible because my home life seems to take precedent over everything else.

I want to return to school to further my education, but there doesn't seem to be enough time. The demands of trying to find employment and starting a non-profit and finishing my book is equally frustrating. I can't seem to find the time or space to put some things in prospective.

I've put everything before God and I'm trusting him to guide me through. But my desire to start the non-profit intensifies everyday as well as finishing my book. So, when all else fails and I've reached the point of what to do next, do I just stand?

Do I continue to pray the same repetitions to Him over and over again. If so, doesn't that imply doubt? I sit silently waiting to hear His voice. I strain to hear Him in my heart. I find solace in His Word, but I am I in the right place to hear Him?

But, then suddenly His voice reaches my heart as I meditate in His Word. The Holy Spirit begins to minister what He wants me to hear. So as I share these thoughts with you today, I know He wants us to stand when it seems as if all else has failed. He want us to be mindful the things He has in store for us, are "abundantly and exceedingly of all that we can ever hope for and more."
