Penny for your thoughts...
I haven't been much for "journaling" lately. There was a time where I actually preferred to write out what was going on in my head. I do understand that verbalizing the jumbled mess that is occurring in my brain provides an avenue for "working it out". But, alas.....I've been living with the jumbled mess for a while now. There have been a couple thoughts that stand out though. #1. Sometimes, I'm actually afraid to feel. I know that sounds funny, but when life is stressful, and very little goes as well as you intended, it's easier to go numb then to sort through the feelings of disappointment and failure, or feelings of excitement in the day to day victories. #2. Somehow, my practical, black-and-white brain needs to wrap my mind and heart around the fact that true, great, and abundant life can only be experienced when I'm living in tune with my Heavenly Father. Like the Israelites, I often forget His faithfulness and seek to further my own kingdom...
