Today is not a good day. I have had a very stressful two weeks and it has taken its toll and now i am feeling ... anxious, shaky, blah!. So i thought i would take a days holiday and just rest and re-group. But that hasn't happened either. Things have conspired to rob me of that as well. So i have turned to God. He has allowed this to happen so he must be trying to teach me something through it. I know who is doing it, that old enemy, but God is allowing it. I think i am understanding why, it is all to do with trusting him more and turning straight to him when there is trouble. So i am saying to myself 'The Lord is my shepherd, i want for nothing. He will lead me by still waters. Amen.
My friend is having a similar problem, worried, anxious because her sister is in kidney failure. Anything to take our minds off of what we should be doing which is setting up a mission fortnight to begin the end of April. Someone is hoping we will be so stressed out and pre-occupied we will not be able to function properly. Well it won't work!!!!
Apart from work which has been stock taking - hate it - nothing much has been happening. Tomorrow i am going on a listening course, the first of two, which will last all day, then in the evening i am going to a jazz/big band night at my daughter's church.
I was sent one of those 4D scan pictures of my great grandson at 22 weeks. It is very clear but i have to say they still look like little aliens. I wonder what he will look like when he arrives?
Right i think i will go now in case i start babbling a lot of rubbish because i have nothing much to say. American pop idol tonight. Yay!!

So sorry your day off isn't going well. When that happens to me, I just quit trying and don't do anything. I think the good Lord is saying rest and sometimes I think I rest too much. Take care ! 'On Ya' - ma

Somehow between the ultrasounds and birth, the little aliens babies become beautiful. He'll be a handsome little man.

Why is it so very hard for us to learn to run to God first? Praying all comfort and direction for you. - Barbara
well I guess you can see how long it's been since I have checked on the journal alerts ! Sorry you are stressed but by now it's all gone and things have gotten better for you. I gave the journals a vacation after innxdoor got a nasty email telling her she had no place in the journals and was not welcomed. Heck they don't need this middleaged broad from w.va either then. Hold your chin up jenny, nobody is worth getting all flustered over. Ignore their nappy arse and move on with your life.

Hi Jenny P! I'm a first time visitor here at your journal, I believe. I think I found your link at Penny's in her comments. I just wanted to say I'm glad to meet another fellow Christian, and that I understand about the anxious/stressed out feeling... I've experienced such episodes myself, and when it happens, just like you did, I turn to my Lord and say something to the same effect as you. Mostly, I say, if this is what you want me to do, then let me know. Usually, I get an answer right away, and sometimes I have waited for months. Most recently, I've waited nearly 8 years for an answer to my question, and I'm beginning to see the Way of it. Hang in there, keep the faith... persevere. You will function properly, and you will be able to do what you have to do because your heart is in the right place. Nice to meet you. You are most welcome to come visit me... I'm across the Pond!
