Prov 24: 10 "If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small."
I guess it's not my time to give up yet! Although there are days. I can talk about yesterday like it's some far away thing, but during it, it is horrible. If someone asked me how I was doing , I'd answer somewhere between "FINE!"...and let me just start crying...someone showed kindness to me yesterday, and I just started crying! And then just like that, snap, the cloud lifted...
I don't remember exactly when, about 5:00pm yesterday when the cloud lifted...Jaclyn, James and I headed to her violin and James needed to finish his test. It was just that simple, the cloud lifted. I will never doubt people have anxieties in this life..or depression, but I knew in the fog I needed to keep putting one foot in front of the other..I didn't doing it joyfully, but I did it! I did the job....and I'm sure some people have days like that as well.......
Anyway, I put one foot in front of the other early this morning on the path in the woods. I chose the shorter path as it was my first time, and it was about 6ish, and the new light of the day was barely coming out, very peaceful. I hope to take the longer trail another time. I have known of this trail for a long time, yet haven't tried it, and am so glad to have found it.
I had a nice rest of the evening with friends, and a much better start of the day for me...not so good for a few children who chose sassiness,disrespect, control and laziness for their morning fare.
We are off to a good start now. We'll all be attending the girls praise dancing this afternoon, as quiet observers. Math, Bible, instruments, chores and some outdoor time was the big achievement for today, and a trip to the library later to return some books.
The girls and boys will be having a much needed holiday from each other for a few days! We're looking forward to some peace and quiet, and I'm sure the boys are looking forward to worms and fishing. I could use some peace and quiet and fishing myself, but not sure when my "ship" will come in for that one! Afraid I"ll just cry the whole time anyway in memory of Dad....
Prov 25:28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit, or heart, is like a city broken down without walls. (Leaving itself open to the enemy..interpretation by a wise student this morning)..
God's riches blessings on your day. Love Alesia & Chris
