Well, since last time....and I know it has been a little time, I have been trying to untangle some things in my life. Spending more time in prayer and reading my Bible has been a priority and of course when you make a commitment for this it seems all hell ( and believe me it is hell) comes against you. I have finally taken to going to the chapel at work during my lunch breaks to have some quiet time to read and pray. It is usually only 20 minutes but still better that the 0 minutes I was having on most days.
I am still working on the worn out part,but I realize that as the spiritual aspect gets better then everything else does too. I also suffer from some serious depression that I am the worst person in the world to explain away and try to say "oh I can handle this, it will go away soon.....blah,blah....." but it doesn't. So I have hooked up with a doctor that really handles these sort of things, not just my family doctor trying to put a bandaid on a gaping open wound. ( He was doing the best he could, he just did not know what to do with me). So now I am on some real med and seeing a Christian therapist that will hold me accountable to get myself in shape. I do not mean to make any of this sound trivial for those who have been through or are going through this journey, I am just getting started and for now it is easier for me to look at it with a lightness, because if I look too deep, it may just scare me to death!
Keep praying for me and offer any suggestions or comments if you would like. I am up for any help I can get. I know I am not the only person in the world going through this. Right now I am going to keep my chin up and my eyes on Jesus. He alone is able to get me through.....He has the right people here on earth to give me a hand along the way when I need a fleshly touch.
Remember.....Never be embarassed to ask for help, everyone needs help sometime and the sooner you get help, the quicker you will get back on your feet.
My flat iron cord is untangled and every morning I think about how important it is to keep it untangled. Do you know that if an electrical cord stays tangled and knotted up it will eventually get breaks in the wires and begin to have shorts in the electrical currents and will not get the energy that it needs to do its job....then before long it will not work at all....and it can even cause a fire and burn down your house.
Who knew that one little tangled cord could do all that? Just like that cord eventually if your life stays tangled and jumbled,eventually you will expeprience shorts, be unable to work and you may even burn your house down ( well, maybe not really burn it down, but you will make a mess of it). Untangle the cords, life will be much easier in the long run. Life does go on and it does not wait for any of us.....lets get well and in shape mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually so that we will be able to keep up with all the others running the race. Have a great day...week..or month.
Techno mom is a name my son gave me when I actually began to learn to use a computer and cell phone and Ipod. Now I still have problems and have to call on him but, for the most part i'm doing o.k. Come with me as I explore the world of blogging. Update: moving along and committed to making some difference by using this blog.
What I'm listening to now.......
This album "Passion:Awakening" has some really amazing songs and I have enjoyed them so much. My favorite right now is "Awakening"
by Chris Tomlin. We all need the Lord to awake our souls and cause us to desire His will in our lives. The only way our souls will be awakened is with the power of God. I encourage all of you to listen and then pray that God will awaken your soul. enjoy.......

Commitment
I am going to be making some changes in my life.....little things. But sometimes those little changes are challenging. I have committed this year to start on that book that I have always wanted to write, and I have started, I am praying that the Lord will guide me in this endeavor. So God can guide me I am studying everyday and spending time in His word.
I really try to have a quiet time at home in my chair, but that does not always happen, so being my techno self, I have the Bible and some tools on my i-Phone and take advantage of that at some point during the day. The other things I am working on are learning some Spanish and memorizing the book of James. Not much. Go with me and I get through 2012.....what are you committed to this year?
