Ever been there?
I spent last weekend (labor day) at my parents house. Okay, not just the weekend...five days. :) I was looking forward to going as I was anxious for the chance to relax and re-evalute. I am definitely an extrovert at heart, but I need my alone time to think. I felt like my brain had been on fire for a couple months with no break...and I was exhausted. I'm sure most of you can relate. Sometimes just getting away or having a change in the pace of "normal" life can greatly ease.
My husband took a walk today and were discussing the on-load of thoughts we've been dealing with over the last couple months. I shared with him something I realized over the weekend: that being at that point makes us so vulnerable, its so easy to believe that that is "normal" and continue feeding into the busyness around us and completely lose sight of everything but what is right in front of us. Having our minds so wrapped up makes us susceptible to the ever-flowing temptations that try to rule our life. Its easy to forget things that are truly important, or things that we cared about, and before you know it you're making decisions you never thought you'd make.
Ever been there?
I am thankful to have had time to regenerate. I can focus on what's really important to me and being the person who I am, and the wife and mother-to-be that I want to be.

Did you know that I am moving? Well, I am and this post was helpful. I am at the beginning of it and you are almost done. Thank you for the insight. By the way, I will be at the first two Bible Study Fellowships and I am hoping to see you there. It's at E-Free at 9am on Thur. the 17th. I am supper sad not to be able to be there all school year. But seeing as I am not, I have something for you and I am really excited to share it with you. Well, like I said before, I really enjoyed your post, thanks.
I totally know what you mean!
Thanks for sharing, totally can relate. Called a friend in Missouri today, and while taking to him, the Lord showed me a vision of to much baggage I was carrying and how He wants us to dump it off of our shoulders and I see Him picking up bag loads..( Let the Lord carry all the baggage that we think we need to carry, even with other people, If you can feel their hearts and try to take on the load that their feeling, it wasn't meant for us to carry. ) Pray for what He gives you to pray for and release them/it to God. Boy did I feel a lot lighter. Like Kristy said if we're not careful, we start believing that's part of everyday life. There should be a lot more joy and peace in our life if our focus is on the Lord, right ANDY! : ) : ) : ) : ) : )
Love, mom (and the mother-in-law) : )
