Feeling Overwhelmed

Hello Professor and classmates. I decided to write about what I am feeling today instead of posting a poem. I am feeling very overwhelmed. New job, school, the children (ages 16, 13 and 11), church and bills are driving me crazy lately. I know that God will not put on you more than you can bear but why do I feel so overwhelmed. I thnk God for my new job, for now, I am able to make ends meet. Although, I am working crazy hours throughout the day which causes me to be away from my children quite a bit. I haven't cooked a real home cooked meal in about a week now, because of my job. I even slipped on thoroughly completing my assignments from school. Thank God it is close to the end of the term because I have not been able to log on for the past week like I should and when I did, I rushed through what I was suppose to do. That is not like me. I feel so burdened down. I guess things could be worse, so why am I complaining. I also know that God does things for a reason so what is it that He is preparing me for? I don't like my new job very much, which is cleaning commercial buildings, churches, theaters, etc. although it does pay the bills. I do thank God for it so I am trying not to complain. My children are at each others throats consistantly lately. My 16yr old is a girl, ole brother! Girls can be a mess! My 13 and 11 year old are boys and it seems as though they conspire against my daughter all the time. HELP ME LORD! Well, I just wanted to vent a bit. Thanks for listening, I mean reading and please, pray for my strength!

DISTANT LOVE

When we met, my heart was ill.
Because it was wrinkled and shribbled, you knew exactly how I'd feel.
My heart was truely dead but you brought it to life.
It had been stabbed many times, and I still had the knife.
You came and made me your everything, your love, best friend and more.
I truely felt what love was like, even though I thought I'd love before.
You're everything I wanted, the perfect match for me.
I knew you were the one, cause I felt your love eternally.
I was so happy that you made me feel so alive.
The only thing that kept us apart, was that long two hour drive.
But now things seem to change, but is it for the worst or the best?
Either way my heart beats for you and it's coming from within my chest.
I'll always think that you were sent to me from the Almight God above.
You will forever and always be so dear to me, my special distant love.
