I've been "under the weather" physically and emotionally for the last week or so. The nasty flu virus is leaving my system slowly and grief ebbs and flows on a minute-by-minute basis. Last Friday evening, my mother passed away. Since she lived on the west coast with one of my sisters, I did not get to see her as often as I wanted to, but we did talk on the phone frequently. I made the comment to my husband this morning that it was just sinking in that she wasn't a phone call away any more (which of course inspires me to leak profusely from my eyeballs). His response was "No, now she's just a prayer away."
Anyway, I was checking my email today and found a comment from Jodie on one of my posts inviting me to comment on "Ten Struggles Christian Women Face" (she is collecting information for a book she is writing) - hmmm, this got me to thinking...so here's my list: (in no specific order)
Anyway, I was checking my email today and found a comment from Jodie on one of my posts inviting me to comment on "Ten Struggles Christian Women Face" (she is collecting information for a book she is writing) - hmmm, this got me to thinking...so here's my list: (in no specific order)
- Obedience or submission to authority
- Keeping God First (see what I mean ?!?)
- Finances
- Walking out my faith - setting example for children & grandchildren
- Keeping my house tidy
- Exercise & a generally healthy lifestyle
- Keeping my priorities in line
- Saying "yes" to too many people & stressing myself out when I'm unable to meet all the obligations I've accepted
- Being WAY too hard on myself
- Keeping myself grounded in the Word
....I really could keep going, but I'm going to show some restraint and stop myself.
