Pull Me Out...

But me he caught—reached all the way
from sky to sea; he pulled me out
Of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos,
the void in which I was drowning.
They hit me when I was down,
but God stuck by me.
He stood me up on a wide-open field;
I stood there saved—surprised to be loved!
Psalm 18:16-19

I feel like I've been pulled through the proverbial "ringer". My job is draining me in ways it never has before. This worries me because my job...career...is something that I thought I would be doing for awhile. I'm only six years in and I don't know how much more I can take. Do I put too much pressure on myself? Yes...I've been known to do this to myself. I want and try to be the best. I can't sit back and just accept the status quo...if I can affect change...I'm going for it. I'm at a point though where it feels like I've done everything...researched...talked to others...sought advice from different people with different perspectives...changed what I do...asked for help. Can I keep going? I don't know. This is the first time I've come to this place. So...here I sit...Sarala reading on the bed...finishing a blog post.
The video here is something I put together not too long ago but had problems uploading it to blogger. I got it to work today...which fits well with my current state of mind/being. The photos come from the summer travels of 2008. The background song comes from Bebo Norman's self-titled album...Bebo Norman. The song is called Pull Me Out. This is essentially my prayer....
