Currently obsessed with our co-op Ironsworn campaign. I've asserted for years that any tabletop RPG can be GM-less, but it's nice to have a system that inherently supports it.

“God won’t give you more than…”

(for someone who’s feeling overwhelmed)

Think of everything that you’re dealing with right now.

Find one of the classic lists of the top ten most stressful life events and see how many of them you’re hitting. Then add a heaping helping pandemic on top of it.

It’s no wonder you’re feeling kind of overwhelmed.

Just when you need a friend most. Someone with solid advice, a shoulder to cry on, help carrying the load.

That’s when the people who don’t have a clue show up. It’s like they’ve been saving up all their bad ideas and unhelpful suggestions. And now? It’s time to dump it all on you.

One of the worst ones they dump on you?

“God won’t give you more than you can handle.”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that. Or how many people I’ve heard it from.

Maybe it gets said with the best of intentions.

But it’s not helpful. Because it’s just not true.

God doesn’t sit there measuring out problems just for you and me. Making sure that each of us gets our fair share. Full up. But not more than we can handle.

If you think about Good Friday - just for half a second - then you know that’s wrong. And completely foreign to the heart of God. That is not who God is.

Problems will come. And they will keep coming.

I don’t remember who said it, but all of us are either going into a crisis, in a crisis, or coming out of a crisis.

I know. That’s not news. That’s just the world we live in.

The truth is that it’s not about how much you or I can handle. Not by ourselves.

Because if we’re God’s children, then we won’t be bearing it alone.

And if you are His, then the simple truth is more like this.

“God won’t give you more than He can handle.”

Which leaves just this question – will you share the load?

Today’s Readings

“Might I make it easier for you, Redfield?” the man had suggested, “To quote my favorite author of tragedies: ‘Another husband could be found and with that husband another son. But I have no mother now. I have no father. I cannot bring another brother to the world.’ Though, in your case, it would be your sister.” 

The BSAA Captain had known who he had to pick to die...and he had hated the very thought, but the asshole was right: he couldn’t bring another sister into this world...but he could always find another companion ...and yet there was no one like Leon. 

Rated for Obvious reasons.

Today has been a good day. I’m not quite where I want to be for the BB fest, but I’ve got a decent amount so far for the WIP check-in. I’m so excited for this fest, you guys don’t even know. 

I’m proud of @rmh8402 , unsure if she wants me to share that kind of news, so I won’t. And I’m proud of @llap115 and her beautiful art. God, I can’t wait to see more. I’m so pumped.

I just feel so relieved after having quite a few bad days lately. I wanna hear about your day. Good, bad, decent, in between. I want my good mood to spread.
