Metaphor for Confusion
I'm standing in the eye of a tornado. I'm stationary. I'm on solid ground, but everything surrounding me is caught up in the furiously swirling winds. It's all moving so fast that I can barely make out what any of it is as it flies by. Job -- friends -- family -- appointment -- commitment -- this verse -- that memory -- some emotion that I can't quite put a finger on... I just stand there with a dumb look on my face, trying to catch up with everything, but before I can, it has passed.
Why are the winds blowing so fast? When will the storm stop? What can I do to get out of the path? Or how do I take shelter until it blows over? Can there be an answer to my question if I don't even know what I'm asking?

The answer to the question that you don't even know is a definite maybe... I'd ask God to clarify that one.

Mine is a job flash flood. I am beyond snorting water to the point of drowning in work that needs to be done yesterday,(actually Friday.)
Several critical deadlines looming within days - none of which I have worked on more than 5 minutes today. Psycho pc, rebellious printers, malicious adware, more email & support requests, filing in for coworker on vacation = 250 more users, lunch? (it is after 2:00, probably a good idea)-- taking a much needed break, everything will get done just not in my timeframe = OT likely. Relax and breathe in the "eye of a tornado". Read Rockisu.com to refocus & think about something other than work for a few moments.
Good questions Megan! Sometimes the speed of life is at a breakneak pace. Gotta love that solid ground! : ))
OK - time to voluntarily reenter the storm. . .
