When My Heart Is Overwhelmed...

Posted in Christian Life

This is a short and sweet entry. Lately, I have been feeling like God keeps putting more and more one me...or rather allowing things to come into my life that make me want to cry out "WHY, GOD?!? Why are You allowing this? Don't I have enough to deal with?" There are no answers in sight and nothing is going according to my plan...which I can see now was not God's plan (Is. 55:8-9). And so I rest in the Psalmist's words...

"From the end of the earth will I cry out to Thee
When my heart is overwhelmed:
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I"
~Psalm 61:2~

When my heart is overwhelmed...the only thing that will ease it is to go to the Rock...the strong fortress..and rest inside safe from the attacks of the prince of this world. High above the rough seas of life that I feel will drown me if I spend one more moment trying to tread water in them. The Rock will not be moved. And when I rest in Him...neither will I.

Welcome to my blog...Why "gidget"? Well...my husband tried to teach me how to surf before we were married. I was lousy at it, but he called me his "gidget" and the name stuck. Why "Treasure Trove"? I love sharing about my sweet little "treasures"...and God has blessed me beyond measure....and no, I didn't mean that to rhyme.
