I need help people!! I need for you guys to pump me up, encourage me that I can make it through this day.
I feel like I am getting a sinus infection, I have been dealing with sciatica for the last week (oh my word, PAIN) and I am in the middle of making up 150 cookie bags for the church to give away tonight, at a graduation ceremony for a parenting class that the High School across the street has been giving.
I want to throw these cookies and the ground and stomp on them, which would probably be counter-productive... And the stinkin church phone lines wont stop ringing, my mom keeps calling on my cell with different assignments... I'm losin it people!
Praying here, Diz! In Jesus' name!

Just keep telling yourself it could be worse, you could be the governor of Ill.
You could be a 14 year old indonesian girl making barbies in an asian sweatshop somewhere on the chinese mainland cut off from family and friends working 20 hours a day for room and board.
you could be a mideval peasant girl in war torn france during the hundred years war with the English army rampaging thru your villiage (can you tell im reading Bernard Cornwell?)
You could be walking the streets of Mecca with a sign around your neck saying "Allah aint that great"
You could be stuck on a secluded beach some place in Austrailia a thousand miles from a hospital having just stepped on a box jellyfish.....
you could be living in a cave in prehistoric america wondering if a saber tooth tiger will bite your head off when you sept outside the clammy cold confines of your underground abode....

Well, Sister, I don't know if this will help you or not, but, almost a year ago, it sure helped me. Its from a little book we recieved in the mail last January. A sister from, I believe, California sent it to us. The Title of the book is "God's Promises to a Womans Heart" by Jane L. Frayer.
"Rest" Chapter 13, Page 30-
I know all about your relentless days,
and your sleepless nights.
I've seen your jangled nerves,
rubbed raw on life.
I've felt the crushing weight
of guilt and sin-
I carried yours all the way to Calvary
on My own shoulders.
And now MY invitation stands,
wide open as My heart.
Come to Me!
Let Me care for your soul,
Let Me lift your burdens,
Fall back into my arms,
Trusting Me, trusting My promise.
May the Lord give you rest, just as he helped us rest in Him when we really needed to!
