Let it be...
I don't have much insight today. I think that is ok, maybe God thinks my mind could use a break. I've been struggling lately. Sunday I was at the point of throwing in the towel. I said, "God I just can't fight this thing anymore, I am worn out." Just when I hit that point, God sets his hand on my cheek, turns my head, asks me to open my eyes and says, "Look..."
Ah, there they are...the many blessings I am surrounded with. God is great. I tell you the people He has placed next to me on this journey are amazing. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for the abundant support I have received since Sunday. My friends are amazing. So thanks to those of you who have blessed my life by just taking the time to be with me, whether we sit and chat, walk the lake or eat breakfast...Jesus is in each of you and each of you is in my heart, which makes me double blessed.
Lastnight my friend Shannon said to me, "If it ever crosses your mind to give up again, call me." There is no hesitation in her voice, no "call me if it's not late at night", there is nothing but love in her words. Another friend of mine said on Sunday, "He loves you just the way you are...And I'm going to keep telling you that because you need to hear it." I don't think I'll forget those words anytime soon. Other friends make lunch appointments and breakfast appointments and are a lighthouse in my storm. The above verse reminds me of how faithful God is. It also makes me believe one of my favorite friendship quotes even more, "Friends are God's way of taking care of us."
Lord thank you for your diligence. Thank you for blessing me with others who can love me the way you love me. Thank you for those who make my world a better place just by being in it and thank you that I can recognize my many blessings even in times of trial. You truly are an amazing God.

supported me. 19 When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. [Psalm 93]

it is ok to take a break. I did, I am in the middle of one, I am not sure when it will be over, nor do I care because it is bringing me inner peace that i couldn't find in my busy life of crazyness.
but don't give up, just simplify and prioritize, there are only so many hours to give, don't try to make that number bigger by packing everything in.
