One of those days...

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways acknowledge him,

and he will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3:5 and 6

Yea, not to be a debbie-downer, but today has been one of those days. You know the ones I'm talking about: the physically, emotionally, spiritually, can't seem to do anything right kinda days. One of those kind where it seems like everything in the world has to be decided today or else the rest of your hypothetical life will completely fall to pieces...

Soo I'm attempting to follow my mama's advice and essentially pull myself up by my boot straps and keep chuggin along. BUT there's no way I can do it alone. Why you might ask? Because I'm too much of a scaredy cat. It sounds beyond pathetic, I know, but it's the truth. Ask anyone that knows me; I'm obsessed with all things freaky. NOT because I'm brave or courageous (although I wish that were the case); it's 'cause I think that if I fill my brain with everything that could ever possibly happen then I'll be prepared/ready to avoid it.(including details from every major missing child story of our lifetime and CSI:Miami and Criminal Minds like it's my job). (insert buzzer noise here) Wrong. Soo wrong.

[this was the theme verse for Blume 2011-- ok, ok God, I get it..]

I've just got to :

by remembering this verse ....

and by getting in the word, daily....

And when all else fails, as it sometimes does, I have to have faith that God is guiding my heart and mind. That every "gut feeling" or "intuition" I have about my life is God-given.

The always-classy words of a former first lady say it best.....
