finding comfort in the midst of "overwhelmingness"

"overwhelmingness" in itself is an understatement of what life have been like of late...yet in the midst of it all, i have found comfort in many forms.

In my daily devotional time with Him
and His word that comes alive

In the prayers you utter with me daily before bed each night
as i struggle between striking a balance of being a good witness and making a fool of myself

In the gentle squeeze of your hands
assuring me, you'll stand by me

In the thoughtful sms-es close friends sent
Filled with encouragement and giving hope for a new day

In the songs sung
especially "Be Still" that we sang couple of weeks ago in cell

In the voices of my love ones from afar
which brightens up my day

and i realize, this list does go a long way
and that in itself is reassuring
for i know
this is but another phase in life
where God uses to mold my character

and yes...as the potter molds the clay

"Overwhelmingness". I have often wanted to use that word to express how I feel. Sometimes grammatically incorrect words are really useful.
