pretty much sums up these days of my life. It seems like there are many things happening all at once - some good, but too many...well, not so good. There have been moments where curling up in the fetal position seems like a really good idea -
but then I realize that this solution is really no solution at all.
The past three weeks have been...challenging... in so many ways.
financial - family - health ... all taking a bit of a hit.
- fear - anxiety - frustration...seem to be the easiest way to deal with it,
but then I am reminded by things like this...
be still...
uffda - that is very hard for me. I like to fix and fuss and fight. Being still is not in my nature.
Today when I was having some quiet moments (well...the room was quiet - my spirit was pretty much having a 2 year old's temper tantrum) I heard this song start to play on my playlist from my computer.
It is written and sung by a friend that attended PBI a few years back. These words were a welcomed sigh to my restless spirit.
...for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
Plans to give you a hope and a future...
Jeremiah 29:11

I am sorry. As one recently walking through all those same problems I know how tough it is. ESP to find peace. Actually meditation helps. I started out with just ten minutes perfectly still repeating," the lord will uphold you with his victorious right hand." or " thank you God for inspiration and that this pain means I am alive." it sounds corny but it calms everything inside of me. I hope in the tough moments you are held up by creatives, inspirational moments, and quite respite. I have always admired you( which is probably why I get nervous and don't talk much- I blame it on Aspergers ;) but the reason I admire us for your sense of humor and strength through it all.
I hope you are blessed today.
