So I
think things are a little better. I don't feel as completely
overwhelmingly confused so much. I think that's a good
thing. There are some things Im still pondering and would like to
know your perspective:
Where is the line between
Loving yourself too much (like selfishness, pride, arrogance, etc)
Loving yourself as God expects you to (knowing the true you?)
Not loving yourself enough (self-doubt, lack of worth, etc)
The line seems so very fine to me
so send your verses!

| So if you asked me "how are you?" and I told you "I'm hurting".. what would you say?
If you asked me to "explain" and I told you "I can't.. because Im afraid to be selfish or a whiner"..
what would you say?
So what if you are hurting, can you not think of your problems without being considered selfish.. can you not talk to anyone without being a whiner... what if you truely need someone to help sort out what has been tormenting you... what does that make you? But what if you are so alone, just because you don't ever want to be a bother to anyone, but you end up being a bother any way.
What if the "ball is not in your court" (as Elder Mathis put it) and much of your life is dependent on someone else's choices. All you can do is pray.. pray hard.. pray without ceasing. Pray like there is no other way. I am so very thankful that Jesus is my friend. I am so very thankful that I am God's child. So that even when things are going so very badly, you still know God's got your back. He's gonna be there for you, no matter what...
so I will praise you in this storm...

| This Thanksgiving was so enjoyable! Had seperate meals with my
Mom and Dad, and each one was just a nice no stress visit. No big plans
and not a bunch of people, just friendly chatting and warm atmosphere.
Now is the time we bring our harvest and give thanks to God for
it. Our harvest is so huge! Its not material, its
relational, its emotional, its needs met, its hope. When I think
about what Im thankful for, I visualize warm colors and just get all
giddy inside. God is so good and has blessed us so much. I
dont know where to begin with my thanks. I begin differently each
time...

| On a lighter note... Miles' last bath in his baby bath. Today we used the kitchen sink and it was much easier, so bye bye baby bath tub! | | |
| Hmmm..ok. Well I have heard about how today's halloween connects with long ago (even though what I heard was different) and I have had multi-feelings about it. Now I can say I have uneasy feelings, not quite sure feelings, haven't made up my mind feelings, and "NO" feelings (each an answer to certain aspects of the events related to todays festivities around October 31st)
So my answer to what I will change this year: Prayer! Boy I gotta pray about this one. I want to look up some verses too and figure out some stuff. But Im gonna Pray - and you there, reading this xanga thing, please pray for me too! Actually pray for my family (not sure if John and I are gonna see eye to eye on this one )
