I think I can, I think I can....

Over half way through this fast and as I thought it would get easier but Im bored with the same bland foods from a fleshly perspective and a picky eater. From a spiritual perspective the words AMAZING come to mind. My marriage has had tremendous weight lifted off it, I have listed more real estate in the last two weeks than I have in months (praying for contracts on those to get closed before the new year.....please help). New buyers are coming out of nowhere also known as a God thing and my rentals are starting to see light although not rented yet (need prayer). Those are my worldly and selfish issues taken care of. A long term prayer has been answered for two immediate family members this week which is an absolutely act of God (thank you for those who prayed for them). Mission trips for next year are falling into place, now I just have one order of business to understand and that is Gods will and calling for my life. I spend alot of time in prayer and yet find my mind wandering off to other places and before too long I hear myself try to focus on just GOD nothing else and its challenging for me. I live a life that goes 90 to nothing the second my mind awakes until I just fall asleep. I go so fast all the time that to just stop to listen to what God wants is very difficult. He is my priority, but yet I get so distracted. Im on a journey to finish reading the bible before the end of the year and Im behind, although I must admit, I really like seeing the bookmark where it is when the book is closed because I see the progress. My "Martha 31" duties have fallen so behind and even though I keep trying to convince myself its only crazy right now, but it will slow down again if I just work harder and longer now, then I can play again. There are days I wonder did I lose my shine and newness in my relationship already, not even a year into it or is it really because Im just that busy right now? Im scared I will fall back into lazy where I dont cook or clean and just sleep when I get home like I did before which in turn turned to be depression as I pulled away from everything and everybody. Im genuinely just exhausted, but the patterns and flashbacks of my last marriage are flashing before me. Is that Satan getting to me trying to make me give up or a vision and reminder of the spirit of where I dont want to be so I can fix it? This time change really has me dragging and at 6:30 Im ready for bed, but Im a mom and a wife with three business' to run so as I try to pull myself together without coffee or pills thanks to the fast, Im trying to go on pure energy that I just dont have.

Im wondering if I will find my answer in 8 more days and anxious to see if God gives me a to be continued...Too many amazing things have happened for me to just stop in the fast early, Im scared lightning will strike it all back if I stop, but 8 days left and still searching for clarity and Gods will in my life I cant help but hear the tick tock in my mind. I have a feeling I just may find it in Africa when the mom, wife and business person goes away for 14 days and its me and God one on one with absolutely no distractions other than a possible plane crash (yes, I have flying anxiety). I hope you dont find this blog whiny or complainy as I just emptied my head onto paper well technically digital space. My heart is still heavy for a few families that I have been praying for that need breakthroughs in their marriages, families and to be families and I hope they find rest and comfort in knowing that our creator has already written their story and those that seek him will find it in him and it will lead to his promises for them and their families. Cheering section thank you for encouraging words and prayers, so for 8 more days here I come chuggin along!!

Tis the season

 Here we are again...another year has passed and Im in my normal buhumbug Christmas attitude with declining spirit as the years go by. Its really my same gripe and complaint every year of the expectation and greed that has taken over the idea of a gift. I dont mean to bring others down with me, but it seems my husband is losing his spirit as well. Our house has been known for its lights and light show but this year no lights, no decorations and its the 18th of December. My kids are grown.. well I say that, but really the baby has been jipped. Hes 16 so never here, but we always did the Christmas stuff because we had kids to make it special for. Everyone around us thinks we have it all together...does facebook do that to people? I feel like Ive always been raw and real which is not always to my advantage when your bi polar like me things just come out. The truth is, I just dont have any Christmas in me anymore. I see everyone else getting together and making cookies and candies, visitin

2024

 Here we are... Happy New Year!! So, what are your resolutions and goals for 2024? Ill tell you mine... none. Ive been wondering what is wrong with me so I googled "What does it mean if you have no goals or dreams" Diagnosis...lacking motivation and unambitious. Interesting. I get up every day and work 12-16 hours a day usually 7 days a week to keep things going yet I have lack of motivation and unambitious. Hmmm. Another diagnosis was lack of purpose, ok I might get on board with that one. I have been asking God my whole life what my purpose is and why am I here. I have felt the answer a few times and things seem to explode while I was doing it. So, that cant be right. I get doors close and and another one opens but how many have to shut before you figure out what your supposed to do with your life? Whats the purpose in finding it right before your life ends...why cant we spend our whole lives doing our purpose our mission before final resting and the words "good job my

A Screw Loose

 Monday I had a post planned on how great it felt to have sunshine in February and after watching JLOs new documentary how normal I felt to feel like everything is going to fall apart and everyone is watching. It was a raw look at my life through her eyes and it just felt so real that someone with her talent and creative skills has the thoughts I do everyday about my work, life and family. In the end we just want to be a good parent and have amazing children that weve given everything weve got and sometimes more to. I felt so normal and begin wondering if there is really such a thing as bi polar or depression or if were just adjusting to different life steps in our journey. Maybe everyone goes through the same thoughts and feelings but perhaps handles them differently. Maybe I don't have mental issues and I just needed reassurance or a different outlook. A few tears were shed and I called it a night. By Tuesday I was ok, felt heavy and my head was foggy but nothing was wrong, I was
