Yesterday felt so long I find myself a little surprised this morning that today is only Tuesday. Weird…
Eric worked until almost 9:00 pm last night. He did get done what he needed to do, but I was all alone almost all day. And yesterday, that was hard for me. Sometimes it doesn’t bother me so much…I guess it was just one of those days.
Random comment: Every morning when I type my post, I wonder why Xanga marks contractions as misspelled words, then changes its mind. I still don’t get it.
I reconnected with a friend from high school on Facebook the other day. It turns out she lives in the same area of the city as I do. We’ve been virtually neighbors for years. How strange!
I find myself struggling these days with some familiar old foes. What’s interesting is that the bible study I’m doing at church is about seeing mountains move when we pray & praise. So one of the mountains I’ve been praying about is my tendency to let fear control my life. I guess, then, it shouldn’t surprise me that opportunities to choose faith over fear are popping up these days. Still, learning to exercise my faith muscles, instead of my fear muscles, is difficult to do. I’m used to being afraid, of hemming myself in with efforts to control or avoid anything I’m afraid of. Living in faith feels unprotected and vulnerable. I’d better keep on praying, huh?
This morning is bible study. I’m glad to have a place to go and people to be with for at least part of the day. And Eric shouldn’t be at work so long today, which is good. I may try to get some cleaning done this afternoon, but we shall see.
I guess that’s all I have…Have a happy Tuesday!
Part of growth is “conquering” something and then when it comes along again, recongnizing it. Sounds like you have made alot of progress!
I wondered if that’s who it was. I knew Rachel lived in Columbus years ago. How’s she doing?
Isn’t it ironic that we’re never safer than when we’re walking in faith, but it feels very exposed and unprotected (like you said)? Hang in there!
I really have fear issues, too; more now than ever. One thing that has helped me is finding a verse or phrase from God’s word that I can repeat over and over when fear (and Satan) want to paralyze me.
Maybe you and Rachel should get together with Christy Taylor!
I was wondering about her the other day. Funny, how she keeps being brought to mind. I must need to pray for her!!
@Kdelayne – Rachel Struewing (she’s married now).
what friend?
