sunday morning, i was having a bit of hair-stration. it started Sat nite, after a day of shopping--hopping in and out of the car into an intermittent cold rain--the hair was well, a little crunchy. not SUPER bad, but definitely in need of some TLC. but, you see, TLC + hair doesn't work for me because...well...i don't do hair. and, this new 'do has forced me to do something i don't do. and, it is frustrating at times.
as i struggled in the mirror trying to figure out how to fix all that was wrong with my mop before i left for church, 'biting off more than i can chew' popped into my mind. i thought about it in terms of many things i'm juggling now--decisions that are causing me to make even tougher decisions because i didnt thoroughly think things through on the front end. Ms. Indecisive taking the recommendations of well-meaning friends instead of dissecting the issues for herself, lest she fall victim to the OAP (Over-Analysis Paralysis for those of you new to the blog).
my eyes were bigger than my stomach.
i am a foodie--love food, adore food, constantly talk about food, always looking for the next piece of food to cause my tastebuds to explode with glee. as much as i like food, i am also a chronic waster. i almost never finish an entire plate of food--whether at a restaurant or at home--unless i am truly STARVING.....i tend to have the big eyes/small stomach thing going on, instead of just taking a little bit and going back for seconds later, if there's room.
my stress level has been on Level 25 for the past week. hair-stration not withstanding (Haircut Guilt eats at me gently most days), i've had many other things pulling at me/tugging at me/pushing me to a near breaking point.
i'm doing too much, and much of it is self-imposed.
and though i've cut back on some things, there are others that need definitive conclusions: career, PC's education, love....
and so, here i stand.....with a mouthful of STRESS....
and spiritual- chompers that aren't really working that well to break up the tough pieces.
pray for me ya'll....this too shall pass...
but i could use a little extra boost of strength to get thru.....

Definitely will be praying for you and hoping that peace and joy are able to be maintained through it.
I am betting that you already have a wealth of strength within you as we know he doesn't bring us to it without the faith,strength to bring us through it.
As I was laying in bed today dreading getting up due to lack of sleep...the 20 month old has infultrated my sleep...I was watching J.M. Her message was entitled Eat the Cookie, Buy the Shoes. Hilarious! But basically about being our own blessing sometimes. In the midst of happenings we may have to be our own cheerleader...our own pep talk! So prayers of strength...not just strength to make it through but strength to chew and digest our many other spiritual decisions!
Love you JMD
