Lost at sea…

We have all been there… those days where everything seems to be going sideways and not in our favor. The list of what we have no control over seems insurmountable, compared to what we can effectively do to hold back the onslaught of what the world throws at us. It leaves us dizzy with the maelstrom of possibilities to either succeed and survive, or fail and be sucked into the vortex of our final end!

For some this idea seems ludicrous… my life isn’t that hard, is it… really? From the outside of a persons difficulties, it is so easy to think they are making a big deal out of simple things… maybe they are, but who is qualified to judge? From within that person’s reality, things can seem so impossible and just too much to deal with! Why do you think therapists are so widely utilized? Everyone needs to be understood and feel worthy of sympathy or compassion. It is just so sad to me, that we have to pay money to get love… unconditional love! What is worse, is that we are willing to pay first, before allowing God to give it to us for free!

Before you think that I am refuting how necessary Therapists are, I will assure you that I find professional care necessary when needed, whether it is mental, emotional, or physical… no digging on our pros out there… they are basically out there giving of themselves to a degree I could not do justice in describing… on my best writing day!

That being said, lets get back to my point… surviving the day to day…

Notes to Self are just that… personal notes reminding me to stay the course, keep looking up and reaching out! Most days are very positive and productive, while I do have those days resembling what I spoke of in the beginning of todays Note. For this reason, I chose to add Note To Self #4…

“All the days ordained for me, were written in Your book, before one of them came to be”. Psalm 139:16

I can rest in assurance that He is a big God… even if I cannot see what is ahead, I have not walked this journey alone. God has been with me all along! I can trust that He has me safely within His hands, and this verse encourages my spirit! Hopefully it will encourage one of you…
