()
About this ebook
Today's Christian woman is faced with a dilemma, and its name is "multi-." While trying to serve the Lord, multiplicities of responsibility vie for her attention. She wrestles daily to handle it all and simultaneously understand her multifaceted nature. But unfortunately, helping others often prevents the healing of issues within her soul. An Anchor for My Soul Devotions addresses these issues, facilitates healing, and anchors Christian women who are dizzy and discombobulated from the whirlwind of multiple responsibilities, talents, and roles. Before a ship sets sail, it must be anchored and refueled. This twenty-one-day devotional is the multitasked, multifaceted woman's necessary daily dose of anchoring and refueling.

I dedicate this book to women all over the world. Women who are mothers, sisters, wives, daughters, friends, and ministers of the gospel—all at the same time. You juggle so much. You do multiple things and prioritize multiple people every day. May God’s word, grace, and peace keep you anchored.
Acknowledgements
I want to say a big thank you to my mother. Thank you for every obstacle you overcame, and every moment of love and encouragement you were able to share with us even in the midst of the struggle. God bless you.

1: Lord, Why Do I Have to Do Everything Myself?
The multiple pressures of life can cause you to feel as if you are the only one going through what you are going through. Having lived the life of a single mother, I understand the pressure and anxiety that can occur when the smallest frustration arises at just the wrong moment. For example, after a long day at the office, the mental anguish of the unjust work environment plays through your mind. At the same time, your child cries, the bill collector calls, your clothes get stained from cooking—and to top it all off—the food burns while you’re on the phone! It’s enough to make anyone throw up their hands, break down in tears and cry, Lord, why do I have to do everything myself?

When you reach those breaking points, you must overcome every emotion within yourself. Remember that "His
