Catharsis

The therapeutic nature of blogging is one of the reasons I have kept up with it for the past two years. Just writing out my last post helped me to deal with my feelings. Why sharing that with the world via the internet is where I choose to do this, I'm not sure. I have been challenged by reading Sarah's blog (not the TV stuff) recently, so I guess being transparent helps me and hopefully encourages others that they aren't alone.

I got some good feedback both on blog and off. MLE reminded me of just a few of the changes the last year has brought...so that gives me some perspective. Last year was hard emotionally because of changes at church and also me re-entering the workforce (even on the limited basis I am). Change isn't always bad, but its definitely an adjustment. And like we always said at MS, one thing you can count on...by the time we get used to this org chart (read--stage or schedule) then it will be time to change again.

So, I'm still wrestling with what to do with my hair...if anything. And I made a decision about how to get my clothes and such in order. And I know that as much as I may enjoy the changes, that isn't the main issue.

Its funny how the timing of this coincided with a post on Beth Moore's blog which spoke to me too. Or maybe its not funny, but just very sweetly God's goodness. Put that together with Rob teaching the youth group on forgiveness and Z teaching Elevation on conflict, and the Beth Moore series Loving Well that we are doing in Bible study on Thurs nights...and I've got an idea of where God has me headed in the next few weeks. And it will be good and hard and good.
