A Good Word Wednesday #107 OVERWHELMED
A little bit of help, hope and goodness for you each Wednesday
“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad.” Proverbs 12:25
Good Word of the Day: Overwhelmed
Not overwhelmed as in suffocating with the issues of life or feeling like I’m drowning.
But overwhelmed as in standing amazed in the presence of God. I feel that when I stop long enough to enjoy the beauty of creation all around me. I feel that when holding a brand new baby. I feel that when I read God’s Good Word and let those words sink deep into my heart.
When do you feel most overwhelmed by the presence of God?
Of course, I am feeling overwhelmed at the launch of my book, Unseen People.
It’s a busy time through the coming weeks as I help people get a copy of the book into their hands. It’s a big job. But I’m overwhelmed by the support of people who have already helped in so many ways to make this book happen.
And I’m overwhelmed that God would direct my paths to make this book a reality. All praise to the Lord most high!

Good Unseen People
A few years ago, I posted this story in Stories for Global Good. It is also included in Unseen People. Here is a bit of that story:
One of my favorite places in the world is right outside my back door… I’ve had many many worship-filled mornings meeting God on my back porch in the cool and quiet with my coffee and my dogs. Only the birds supplying a background concert of morning praise.

I pray that even now you will be overwhelmed with the presence and peace of Jesus.
Thank you for reading these words. I’m deeply honored to share this time with you each week.
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Write in a book all the words I have spoken to you.” Jeremiah 30:2
Gratefully yours,
Congratulations!!! What an accomplishment and testimony to God's gifts that He gave to you and your faithful executing of those gifts. I look forward to reading Unseen People!
I'm overwhelmed when thinking of how God continues to love me even when I fail Him so often. I'm overwhelmed when I think He provided a way so I could spend an eternity in heaven with Him. We don't deserve that, but what an overwhelming gift!
