About:
Too much to manage and not enough time or energy to do it? Join the club. Life is a pressure cooker and, more and more, being overwhelmed is just considered normal. But, truth be told, life's stresses and circumstances aren't the boss of us. What if we could take Overwhelmed and diffuse it--or, better yet, reframe it to good?
Author, blogger, and mother of five Kay Wills Wyma has learned that if we're going to be overwhelmed by anything, let's have it be Truth with all its grace, hope, peace, and love. In this freeing book, she shares how to confront life's pressures we face--at home, online, at work, in our relationships, on our calendars--and replace all those heavy expectations with the liberating truth that we were made for something better. Through her inspiring personal stories sprinkled with a dash of humor, she gives readers permission to step back, let go, and find fulfillment and freedom in a life lived in light of eternity.

My Thoughts:
This book is perfect for the season of life I am in. The world and life can be very overwhelming, but we need to see our circumstances in the lens through the word of God and how He view sit. The chapters in book are so great in helping me to put my life into perspective, especially an eternal perspective.
This book has great insight and wisdom to glean from in each chapter. Ultimately, the author wants the reader to understand not to be pressured, frustrated or overwhelmed in life by the expectations or circumstances of life, but to keep our eyes fixed on the the Lord and His plan for us. This book is super helpful and I plan to read it again.
