Well, I don't know what's up, but I am absolutely exhausted lately. I mean, seriously, ready to go to bed immediately after I put the kids to bed, even when I've had a nap some days. I am severely messed up right now. I've had a lot on my plate this week, I'll admit, so maybe that's got something to do with it. More than likely it's PMS as well. I don't know why, but my PMS seems to be getting worse the older I get (just like everything else). I know, I know, I'm not THAT old, but lately I've been feeling it. Gone are the days when I can stay up until midnight, get up the next morning feeling rested. Gone are the days when I can eat whatever I want, exercise as little as I want and keep the same body shape and weight for years on end. Gone are the days when I can go without makeup because my face looks just fine. Yes, I'm venting. It's my blog, I'm allowed. Seriously, this getting old business is for the birds.
On the glass-is-half-full side, I'm so glad that I'm past the teenage years. I'll never have to go back to high school (although sometimes I feel as insecure as a high school girl...duh). I'm so glad I'll never have to write another exam in University. I'll never forget when I was heading into my late twenties and my dad told me that turning thirty was the best year for him: he was established in his job, his marriage, his family was complete etc. I feel exactly the same way in those respects. I'm really glad I am at the point I'm at in my life.
I just need focus, and peace, and some time to spend alone with my Creator.

you are definitely allowed to vent, we all have days like that, but hopefully the good ones outweigh the bad and we can keep plugging away, try to keep your chin up, praying for you today and always
Hi. I am reading a really good book right now called Battlefield of the Mind. In it Joyce Meyer, the author talks about "being more mindful and "think" what we are thinking about. And how Satan puts negative thoughts in our mind to bring us down, and fill our minds with lies about ourselves, our situations, and others. That's what Romans talks about "be transformed by renewing your mind". This has really helped me in my situation with trying to find a job. I have been thinking how useless, ungifted, unworthy I am. I am more aware of how Satan has influenced my thinking, being more aware of my negative thoughts has made such a difference. When I start thinking negatively, I stop and ask God to take them away and begin praising and thanking Him for what I have. And I have started thanking God for the job he is preparing for me. What a difference this has made in my attitude and how I feel! Praise God!
