That’s how I’ve been feeling lately. There’s no “emotion” box for this blog, and if there were, “defeated” would not be on the list, but hey. Maybe it should be….no, just kidding.
So basically, what God has been trying to tell me in a good way is that I really can’t solve other people’s problems, that’s His job. And that’s a good thing, because I no longer have to feel like completely overwhelmed because I’m not solving someone’s problems. Unfortunately, that’s not the way Satan wanted things to go. So he has been changing the “I can’t solve people’s problems, only God can,” into “I’m a failure, I can’t help people, I just let them down.” That’s never a good thing to be thinking.
So right now, I feel extremely defeated and I’m just trying to remind myself that even if I’m not helping people, it’s not my job to heal the broken hearts of the world. I’d like to…oh boy, would I like to. That’s God’s job, though, and He will take care of it. I have faith in that.

I tried to leave a comment yesterday, but it didn’t work.
You need to give me a call so we can talk out this weekend.
Regarding your blog, it’s hard to step away from problems. Even though your nature is to problem solve, there are times when you’ll need to admit that it’s not yours to solve. That’s hard.
I love you. What seems like defeat may only be a lesson learned to help get you to the next step.
