I'm back

Dude, I've been feeling under the weather for the last week. Several reasons. Mostly a sinus problem - I'd call it an infection, but no doctor has called it that, probably because I haven't seen a doctor. At any rate, I was moving slow, thinking slow and barely keeping my head above water. Besides that, there have been some pressures lately that were sapping my emotions as well. The combination of being sick physically, and spent emotionally, didn't leave much room for blogging, or anything else really!

Yesterday I realized, as if coming out of a fog and looking around the landscape, that I had been feeling down for longer than I like to accept. It's at moments like those that I examine things from a spiritual perspective and ask the question, "Is there a spiritual force behind this glumness I feel?" I'm not sure there is any specific evil to blame, but I did feel that prayer was warranted, so I shot off an e-mail to my personal prayer team. If I've never told you about these amazing friends of mine, remind me to sometime. Suffice it to say that I sent an e-mail last night, and today has already been a different, brighter day.

I'm grateful that God cares about the details of my life. I'm grateful that He can give me the internal desire to fold my laundry and take it upstairs and put it away. I know it sounds silly, but a girl can only take piles of clean laundry for so long (seriously, I have not been caught up with laundry in at least two weeks - and by "caught up" I don't mean it's done, I just mean the dirty pile is small enough that I don't feel like I have to do a load right now). And it's not that the piles bug me so much, it's that I walk by them 5 times a day and think, "UHGGG, I so do not want to take those upstairs and put them away right now." So, to wake up today, after weeks of either having no time or no desire, and actually enjoy cleaning house was a small miracle.

Just thought I would stop and say "hi" to all of you since the fog had lifted. Have a great day!
