Time

...seems to help me chill out. Get further away from the blunt emotions one feels right after something challenging happens. Time and God are my friends.

This morning I was dealing with a sick kiddo and thinking I was in for quite a day. However, we got started moving, and a few hours later, everything looked a little more cheerful. Thank you Lord.

Thank you also Lord for rounding off the jagged edges of emotions I have been carrying around. I know other things will occur, but you will be there then too.

I love you, Amen

Struggling

...with letting go and handing over some battles that are not mine to contend. I am in this bizarre place of wanting to go defend myself against someone whose ears are as apt to listen to reason as a spirit is to fist fight. Another person whose own pain, both physical and emotional, is running their lives while they openly criticize mine.

Lord, please do what I am not capable of. Please fight this battle for me, however you see fit. Please help me to have a still and quiet spirit as you refine me in this season. Help me to see and seek you more as I walk this path. I love you.
