I have finally turned the corner. WOW! what a month it has been! I feel like I've been living the life of the foolish man who built his house on the sand. I learned in many ways over the past weekend that I need to be firmly grounded. If my spiritual, mental and emotional state are not solid, my life will shift around and go absolutely wild!!!! I've also learned a lesson about not allowing others lives and problems consume you. It's wonderful to be their for your friends as they are going through struggles and trials--but you need to just be a sounding board. Don't let their issues or problems consume your life to the point of it being a trial for you as well. I've discovered, I'm not very good at that.
I continually think back to Phyllis Roth's funeral how Pastor John pointed out that she never complained. Even in her last days of life her whole focus was the needs of others, knowing that God would supply her every need. My goal is to be that way. I know that it will take a lot of work, but I do believe that it can be done. I've seen it. As I continue to rely solely on God to provide my peace and comfort, how can you complain?
I want to say a special thank you to Tammy and Jenni--they both helped me come back from the black hole that had sucked me in. I thank God daily for my friends.
Sherrianne's off for her second ear surgery. Nothing major just some housecleaning--or ear cleaning as it would be. Please pray for her for comfort and peace.
Love to all of you!
Wendy
