I am not going to try and hide the fact that i have been going through some rough things….i may not talk about them to everyone….maybe one day, but right now i am keeping it to a small group of people.

But as i have talked to some people about these things they just quote scripture back at me. They give me the truths from Gods word and i so appreciate that…but at the same time i am a processor. i need to think about things and talk them through….Some times it frustrates me when all people do is give me the “God is in control” or “Jesus loves you” or “God promises to ____________.” i need to process things through and talk them out.

it is the only way that i will deal with things. If i dont talk them through and process it i dont really deal with it. I am a believer in counseling….not for the rest of my life, but to have a safe place to talk things through when i need it.

How do you process things?

we had a debate about whether eating food upside down makes it taste better….

Personally i disagree….when you chew it it ends up all the same….but
I would like to know if you agree or disagree….

I have been feeling very much “damaged” lately. But these words of wisdom from Audrey Hepburn have been cycling through my ever racing mind.

“People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.” - Audrey Hepburn

For me, for you, for others. No one deserves to be thrown out….no one.

no matter what has been done by you or to you….no one.

Find hope today. we are all on a process of restoration, renewal, revival, reclaiming, redeeming. (and i am speaking to myself as well).

Last Thursday was my 23rd birthday. It was a good day! Many birthday wishes from many people…and if that was you,

THANK YOU!!

After much thought (5 minutes) i realized that a total of about 12 said “Happy Birthday” or called to wish me a happy birthday. I am not at all saying that i want more of it next year, i am just saying it.

So i went on a search to see how many other ways i was wished happy birthday….here is the break down…..

98 – facebook birthday wishes
13 – twitter birthday wishes
72 – text birthday wishes
12 – spoken birthday wishes (phone or in person)

This is the time we live in.

This week we have had 6 am pray monday through friday. it has been awesome!

I love when i can get prayer structured into my day for me….because to be honest, for me a consistent prayer life is not in existence. i pray daily….but it is not a consistent time.

anyways….the fast is making my brain not work….this alone has taken me about 15 minutes to type. haha. thank the LORD for spell check!

but one morning as i was praying i saw several people who at one point i was very connected with. then slowly we lost contact…life got busy….priorities change….etc. and we lost connection.

now each time we see each other we say

we should get coffee or food or hangout!

but we never do it!!

I am curious….am i the only one that struggles like this?
if you dont struggle, how do you stay connected to people?
if you do struggle with this what are something we can do to help this?
