\"DSCN3278-2\"<\/a>Has life ever gotten so busy that you find yourself going in several different directions, and feel like everyone wants a piece of your time?\u00a0 You feel a bit worn out and frazzled and want to\u00a0 say, \u201cHold on a minute and give me a chance to breathe and time to take a nap.\u201d\u00a0 Do you ever feel that your ship is just so small that\"DSCN3283\"<\/a> you don\u2019t have enough room to move around in it, and there\u2019s a little too much in the boat with you?\u00a0 You look at the different responsibilities you have and wonder which ones you can throw overboard and which ones you need to keep.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sometimes do you just feel like you can\u2019t walk another step, and you just need someone else to pick you up and carry you or you won\u2019t make it?\u00a0 Isn\u2019t it awesome to know that we have a heavenly Father who has promised that he will never leave us nor forsake us.\u00a0 \"2010-09-04He will walk with us every step of the road.\u00a0 He has told us to \u201cCome to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.\u00a0 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.\u201d\u00a0 Matthew 11:28-29<\/p>\n

As we serve here at NTM Aviation, we sometimes find ourselves in similar situations.\u00a0\u00a0Phil planned two trips to Sanford, Florida for meetings and then at the last minute his mom scheduled back surgery.\u00a0 Trying to balance his meetings and care for his mom was a challenge, but we are very thankful that it happened while Phil was there. Sharon, Phil\u2019s sister arrived in time to help bring Mom home from the hospital and care for her. Although Phil ended up being gone for 20 days the Lord provided a quick trip home for 4 days to see Ellen and catch up on a few things before returning to Florida. This trip, as well as the three weeks we were gone in July, puts Phil pretty far behind. Now, he needs to get caught up before the next trip to Florida.\u00a0 We praise the Lord for the strength that God has provided.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
