Opis

Like an unexpected car accident in a rainstorm, life can sometimes crash down on us, knock the wind out of us, and leave us emotionally, spiritually, and mentally breathless, fatigued, and OVERWHELMED. No one is exempt from those moments when we feel like we have been forcefully punched in the stomach by death, financial hardships, pain, illness, anxiety, doubt, fear, new opportunities, new surroundings, new relationships, and people. And many times before we can stand back up, here comes round two and three; and now we are engaged in an all-out FIGHT WITH LIFE, and LIFE IS WINNING. We are not always equipped to handle those OVERWHELMING moments that catch us off-guard. Sometimes we respond irrationally by withdrawing from society; turning to alcohol or drugs; engaging in self-destructive behavior; becoming bitter or distant; or choosing death as a viable option. Despite the vast number of situations and circumstances that can OVERWHELM us, this book offers practical and spiritual guidance. It helps us navigate some of the most intense moments of life so that we can emerge gracious and graceful - and come out better even WHEN WE ARE OVERWHELMED
