My Life...It's All Good

When you see people you know going through a difficult situation, it is tough. It is especially tough if you are a "fixer." By fixer, I mean someone that always wants to fix any problem and keep things from being bad for your friends and family.  I am a fixer. I admit it. It's a tough job, but I feel like someone (me and only me) must do it. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I do this to others? Maybe the best thing I can do is let them experience what life hands them.  I have a friend going through a tough time right now. It is getting even more difficult through no fault of her own. My temptation is to step in and try to work on the situation for her as a friend; I mean, she has enough to deal with right now, but she may miss a growing experience. I have decided I will step away from the situation. The Lord may be trying to show her something that she needs to see. He may be trying to teach her something that she needs to learn. If I try to end it or make it bett...

I've been feeling a little out of sorts lately. I don't know if it's the weather...we've been in a drought for SO long and it has been unseasonably hot until today...or if it is all of this election stuff. I do know that after tonight, we will have a new president for the next 4 years. Also, there is a slight chance of rain today, even though they believe it will dissipate before it makes it to us. It does make me hopeful that we are STARTING to come out of the looong dry spell.  All of this gives me hope, not that I've been without hope, but it boost my hope that things are looking up. I'm praying for our country. I know who I want to win, but it is in God's hands now. All I can do is wait and see...possibly with a big bowl of popcorn, and HOPE that my PERSON wins and wins big. Not that either candidate is spectacular, but I am trusting that the people AROUND this person will have influence on he or she enough to be good for the country. As for the weat...

To say I'm anxious about Tuesday's election is an understatement. I'm very nervous. I want it to be over and I want my person to win. I will try to refrain from getting too political, but I want to share a few things with you connected with the election.  1. We should be praying for the candidates...even the candidate for whom you aren't voting! We won't know until (hopefully) Tuesday night who will win. That person needs every prayer possible before and after Tuesday.  2. Our country is divided right now like I've never seen. We need to pray for healing in our land. We need to stop with all of the divisiveness and anger. Even if you don't agree with someone, there shouldn't be so much hate/hateful talk (especially on Facebook where it is rampant).  3. Think past yourself and the next 4 years when you vote...this vote will have lasting ramifications for years to come because of the Supreme Court. Pray, pray, and pray some more... When I think abo...
