My very busy friend Kerry, who’s the mother of two with a full-time job as a senior pastor at a Methodist church, wrote recently in her blog that she sometimes feels overwhelmed and exhausted.
“The image that has been coming to my mind lately of my life is of me treading water,” she writes. “Treading water and feeling like sometimes my head goes under and I have to struggle to get to the air and breathe….
“So, this Lent I hope to re-imagine myself from treading water to laying back and floating on the water.”
