... like sleeping... Well, I wish I was feeling like this but at 2:50am I'm still awake. And around 6:30am I have to start getting ready cause I have to be at work at 9:30am. Those 3 night flights the past week have really messed up my sleeping pattern and now I "syria"usly don't know how to survive my Damascus flight today.
... happy we landed on time on Friday so I was able to attend church, though a little tired. Right now the group is somewhat smaller and intimate due to summer holidays.
... happy my cousin only spent one day in ICU, though she's still in the hospital. Surgery went well but they had to cut away part of her intestin and her stomach.
... amazed how strong she is and how she keeps on surprising the doctors with her strength.

... like crying. Still not able to sleep. And at the moment we're just minimum-minimum crew on the flight, ugh... Another 2 hours and it's time to get ready.
... like putting on the "Blonde"-tape (*breathe in*...*breathe out*...*breathe in*...*breathe out*...*breathe in*...*breathe out*...)

Soooooo tired. Yesterday I worked, looked at a house, then went to a fellowship. My plan was to leave early, but I ended up talking with some people for a while and bonding a bit. It was a blessing.
Today I worked for 11 hours and I forgot to take a second break. Afterwards, some friends invited me out and I went - again intending to stay only for a little while. Well, we ended up talking and laughing so much that I didn't get home till a half hour ago.
In addition to being tired, I feel thankful that I have friends. I'm thankful that I have places to go. I'm thankful that my apartment is quiet. I'm thankful for sweet tea and for toothpaste (to brush my teeth with after I drink the sweet tea).

. . . like the enemy is attacking me for casting my anxieties on the Lord.
. . . I get really overwhelmed with this situation on the house repairs that need to be done. . . . each day it seems like I find a new problem.
Yet the other day the story from 1 Kings 18 - where Elijah showed the followers of Baal, that God is the one true God by consuming the sacrifice Elijah had prepared. He prepared the sacrifice of the bull, and had the followers of baal pour water on the sacrifice, wood and stones to where the water flowed into the trench.. . . then God consumed even the stones and all the water. . . .
It was a reminder of what God can do . . . and I know He will provide a way for these repairs to be made. . . I'm really trying to remember His promises and be more positive instead of wasting my time worrying. . . just like Jesus tells us in Matthew.
It seems the more I trust and give to God . . . the more the enemy wants to cause me to have anxiety and fear.
Being single. . . there is no "helpmate" to help shoulder the burden for me. . . so God is teaching em to give them to Him . .

... thankful for Tashilein and the stories she tells about her journeys.
... happy she got some much-needed rest.
... glad that teaspoon is learning to cast all her cares on God, even when it still feels uncomfortable, and would be comforting to have a man around the house.
... exhausted and weak. I'm having a bad weekend physically.

...astounded, I worked with the kiddos in church this morning.
...confused, and slightly irritated. I have a LOT of stuff to work out with God for the next week or so.

...guilty of throwing myself quite a pity party. there were three engagements this week among my friends (two last week) and today i worked with the toddlers...with two recently engaged couples (yup, only single there)..and then there was a baby dedication during service today..and I sat in the row between couples surrounded by families with numerous children and a few glowing mothers awaiting their new arrivals..and i just kept looking around finding no one else like me and while being single hasn't bothered me as much lately, today, i was especially vulnerable to feelings of self-pity and hopelessness and anger. and boy did i give full vent to those emotions for a hot minute..or few.
and so i give up. i give up. i give up. i give up!
but this is not a hopeless give up, this is a 'i am surrendering and fully ready to re-evaluate where i am and seeking God on where he has me going'. lately, i've seen how a lot of my motives have truly been good and pure and have honored God but also where I still have room to grow. and yes, my heart is a little confused, frustrated, hurt even over a couple of things but rather than let it rage on, i will surrender it to Jesus.
now that doesn't mean i won't have my moments where i can't help screaming at the ceiling but i have a feeling this is exactly where i am supposed to be for now. i still have a few unanswered questions on a few specifics - but those aren't as important to me as the core of the faith - now that i am at this place, again what does it mean to love the Lord my God and to love my neighbor as myself?
yea so that's kinda sorta where i am. and so at the same time i feel very discombobulated i feel pretty hopeful and assured that this is where i'm supposed to be.
-reba.

(((((rebakahblam))))))
I know the feeling. Surrendering is difficult but necessary.
I feel physically quite tired. I overextended myself quite a bit this weekend. I've been trying to make time for people in my life, so I accept more invitations to engagements instead of avoiding them. They have been fun, but exhausting. I didn't get home on Friday until 1 a.m., Saturday until 12:30 (after working an 11 hour day), and I went to lunch with some ladies after church today - so I didn't get home from church until 4 (church started at 10). I slept and now I'm awake but still sleepy.
I'm hoping that a movie will put me to sleep.
Nighty night!

... like I won't be making a cake for my friend today. She hasn't gotten back to me whether something is happening for her birthday and I have no idea what her schedule is like. So instead I'm making a lot of soup (mixture of carrot, tomato, mushroom and a little appel) to freeze into smaller portions. I might make a tiny tiny cake on Thursday to take with me on the flight to Frankfurt.

Yes, sweetie, you can get away w/it! 
... good from our Bible study discussion. The lessons are hard, but it's clear God is moving me forward.
... at work ... overwhelmed. This is supposed to be our slow season. It's not. I'm too busy to take time off, but I definitely need a break.

Matthew 
Thank you for pointing out that flaw in logic, Matthew-59. 
summer!!!!! 
Is he insinuating I can't go three days without talking to him? Or is he just wondering how I am? Meesa is confused....
