Decision

Yesterday was ugly.

My heart was ruled by my circumstances.

I was tired.

And hormonal.

And overwhelmed.

And I did not shine the light of Jesus to my household.

Today will be better.

Today I will remember God's grace upon grace bestowed on me.

Today I will keep my perspective.

Today I will take my eyes off of me.

And I will live with joy.

    I like your new banner, I like the new banner!

    I was telling my friend about Thursday being the Wrath of Susie day- it's hard at the end of the week to be as fresh and focused at the beginning. I will pray for you right now and keep you in them. For refreshment. For His touch. For the ability to refocus.

    Been there. Done that.

    Hope today was better. I saw this quote recently:
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." (anonymous)

    Here's to tomorrows and being able to try again!!

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
