Geez, it's been a long time. This is such a waste of my life and during such an important time in my kids' lives. I'm ready to be done with it, and move on. I wish it didn't mean so much painful, hard work. I'm not so tired anymore. It's good not to be completely overwhelmed by everything in my life. I know I am feeling better, because I haven't had much sleep for several nights now and I'm tired, but not "that kind" of tired. I've taken a couple of small babysteps and I'm mildly terrified, but I feel like I have no choice... If I just keep doing what I've been doing, I'm going to keep getting what I've been getting. It's time for a cool, cool change. I want my joy back. I have happiness in my life. I have NEVER loved a place like I love Austin. We can really "dance" here. We fit so well here and I know He brought us to this beautiful place. This has been an awesome summer, walking/running, Barton Springs, Zilker Theatre, Sno-Beach, it doesn't get much better than that. But I really miss God. I hate that when I hear people talk about Him, I just want to roll my eyes. I used to want to love on people because I felt His love and I couldn't wait to share it with anyone who would have me. Now I just want to be left alone and get through the day. ICK!! I'm ready to fight for my relationship with Him. I have no idea what that looks like anymore and I know if this goes wrong, I'm am absolutely NOT up to another 3 years of this crap, I just know I need to be better and move on. I'm ready to be done with this and figure out what the pruning was all about. At least I think I am...
I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education. -Wilson Mizner (1876 - 1933)
About Me
- pen in hand, heart on sleeve
- Austin, Texas
- I am a recovering Christian. Don't ask... I absolutely love my children unconditionally, although sometimes we don't like each other very much. My husband adores me and he is my world. He makes me want to be better and that will take a long time, so I'm glad he's in this for the long haul. I love a good book and one day I want to write one. I miss God a lot, but I believe this is just a long trip through the valley and He is pruning me. I'm finally ready to start dealing with some of this junk and I'm hoping I can do some of the dealin' here.
