Scattered
Have you ever walked into a room to do something and then all of a sudden, you had no idea what you went in there for? I'm sure you have and if you're like me, you had to. backtrack your steps in order to put your mind back together and remember the simple task you were trying to acheive.
Have you ever had so many thoughts, emotions, worries, and anxieties floating around in your head that you had a difficult time holding onto things in your mind? Again, I'm sure you have and if you are anything like me, if someone were to ask you about all those things swirling around in your head, you would have a difficult time telling that person what they were. You know they are there, but it's not just one thing - it's a storm of things. Not just one big thing - a storage unit full of little things.
If you can relate to either of these things, or have ever felt scattered for any number of other reasons, I think you'll love this article by a person in the boat with you.
At the end of the article, Melissa writes, "My thoughts may be scattered and my memory may or may not be what it used to be, but Jesus is always reminding me of what I need to know: He is good. He is here. And He is always gathering my pieces."
I love that picture. When the puzzle pieces of life get all jumbled up, Jesus is there gathering the pieces!
