When You Don't Know Where to Start | Her Second Chapter with Andrea Walford

There are days—maybe even whole seasons—when everything feels like too much.

Not because your life is falling apart, but because it’s too full.

Too many tabs open.
Too many roles to play.
Too many thoughts competing for your attention.

You want to feel focused.
You want to feel clear.
You want to wake up with energy and direction and flow.

But instead?

You wake up already tired.
You sit down to work and stare blankly.
You try to make a list—and it just overwhelms you more.

And the worst part?

You can’t even figure out why it feels so hard.
You’re not lazy. You care deeply.
You want to start.

You just… can’t seem to.

There’s Nothing Wrong With You, You’re Just Carrying Too Much

If this is where you are right now, hear this:

You’re not failing.
You’re not behind.
And you don’t need to push yourself to get back on track.

Because you were never meant to carry this much in the first place.

Sometimes the overwhelm you feel isn’t a sign that you’re doing life wrong.
It’s a signal that you’re doing too much on your own.

You weren’t designed to be your own source of clarity, motivation, and strength.

Jesus never asked you to juggle it all.
He invited you to come to Him when it all felt too heavy.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
— Matthew 11:28

Not “Come to me when you’ve figured it out.”
Not “Come to me once you’ve pulled yourself together.”

Just… come.

Right here.
In the middle of the mess.
Before the to-do list is done.
Before the ideas are clear.
Before you have anything to give.

If you’re reading this with that tired, overwhelmed ache in your chest… start here:

Take one deep breath.

Then whisper this:

“Jesus, I don’t know what to do next. But I trust that You do. Show me one gentle step—and give me the grace to take it.”

That’s it.

That’s the “start.”

Not a full plan.
Not a fresh strategy.
Just a hand reached out in the fog.

And Jesus?
He’ll meet you there.

I want you to know—I get it.
I am you today.

So no pressure.
No pushing.

Just this quiet reminder:

You don’t have to do everything.
You don’t have to figure it all out.
You don’t even have to feel better to be okay.

You’re allowed to be tired.
You’re allowed to need help.
And you’re still wildly loved, even in the midst of the fog.

You don’t need to find your fire again today.

Just stay close to the One who never let it go out.

With love and belief in you,
