ONE OF THESE DAYS I’M GONNA BE A FLYING TURTLE!
So far in my blog I went from a chameleon to a wanna be worker bee to a snail!
Today, I think, I am being guided for purging. So A turtle sounds good to me! This last week has been crazy. I still have been writing some but because it involved intimate details of family members I didn’t feel it was right for it to be to broadcasted OUTLOUD … for now (meaning other relatives) can view me as the kids have painted… but the truth may come out. So I’m down to two kids who won’t talk to me and a 14 year old who knows I’m crazy, (doesn’t think, KNOWS!) And I plod on in my efforts to hold on to God’s hand and make some purpose of this live here I’ve screwed up so badly.
Several things happened this week that gave me direction…which I pray is “God” direction. One is to SIMPLIFY my life to the point of less confusion; All aspects. Great example- storage shed full of stuff costing to keep that I’ve lived without for 2 years and the only really valuable things are connected to memories. Yet I know when I start digging in there for yard sale material I’ll be saying “how could I have lived without this so long!” And the list goes on I have so many Facebook accounts I don’t know who my friends are and who my gaming pals are ( down to 1 account…stopped game!) Have so many email accounts that when I went to network main and laptop I changed my Google password and locked it up for 4 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My life is on Google...SCARY! My bills, my banking, my work, my calendar, mail…..That was a real eye opener. Think about it. When was next Drs appointment with which Dr? Pick up what where? NO Bills because they are all electronic! Well….
TURTLE- I picked the turtle because I want to make my life so simple that what I need fits in my shell and I’m good to go! Now How?
This morning’s devotion helps: And if it is God’s will then I’ll find a way to jump the hurdles and HE can move the mountains. I don’t remember the exact passage (I have to get better at that) where Jesus tells (invites) someone to follow him but he doesn’t because he has to tend to things! That scares me….sounds kinda MANIC...I’m leaving to follow Jesus...you all take care of yourself....especially when i have a 14 year old! A 14 year old who I hope walks this path with me but doesn’t like me so ……another Mountain for God! So I’ll prepare for Him which sounds closer to what He would have in mind for me anyway!
I love you Karin -- whether you're a chameleon, a worker bee, or a flying turtle! Just remember you're a beloved child of God & He's holding you! You're also a good writer! :)
