Highs and lows...

Wow, it's been a long time since I posted here - or any of my blogs for that matter. There has been lots going on, some good, some bad......and for a time I was so pre-occupied with the bad going on around me I lost my focus, I took my eyes off God and couldn't see the blessings that were falling around me.

Luckily I have some very good friends who noticed I wasn't quite right (no matter how hard I tried to make everything look normal) and they pestered me and popped round until I shared......why do we hang onto things, when every time we share we realise it is so much better to not face it alone???

I had reached burnout and was exhausted and just wanted to run away and hide, but there is nowhere I can hide from God.......He was with me every step, giving me scripture to read, showing His mercy and grace and giving me permission to stop....."Stop and take rest in me......look to me, not the problems and I will lead through the darkness"........

I have taken some time out from some things and have taken some time to do things that I enjoy, things that had been missing from my life for almost a year.......scrapbooking, knitting, and my new craze - quilting!!!! And I'm starting a fab new bible study by Beth Moore called Jesus The One and Only which I'm sooo looking forward to........
