Lost

No, not the tv show, lost as in, 'man I'm feeling lost right now. Ugh. Bleh. Argh. Sigh. (Thanks, I needed to get that out.)

So I have a really good life. I mean, really, in the grand scheme of things, I have a wonderful life. I have a God who is patient and forgiving, full of grace and wisdom. A husband who would run around the world twice if I needed him too. Family. Friends. Money. Food. A roof over my head. But yet, with all that, right now, I'm feeling lost. Like I'm missing something.

I don't know. All I know is that life is wearing me out right now. I cannot possibly find the rest I need. And you know why? I'll tell you....

Because I'm not seeking the Giver of Rest. Yeah, Him. Why do I forget that so often? Why do I whine and complain and cry and beg and plead and nothing happens? Oh yeah, because He said 'Cast your cares upon me' and 'My yoke is easy, my burden is light' Why is it I so quickly forget the only part of my life that NEVER fails, NEVER quits, and NEVER grows weary of me.

So Papa, please give me rest. Please be my peace, my joy, my strength. Help me to see YOUR face in everything I do. Help me to be thankful and above all, help me to stop forgetting to ask You for help. Amen.

On another note, coming up soon I think I'm going to try something new with this blog. (For all 1 1/2 people that read it!) I've been reading and watching the news lately and it's so discouraging, depressing and downright negative. I think the world would be a much better place if more stories of triumph, overcoming and victory were out there! So starting soon, I'm going to blog 90 days of positive stories. I'm not sure where I will find the stories, whether the news, other blogs, or things I witness in life. Or hey, how about you guys send me stories! But I want to find the beauty in life, the real stuff, the happy stuff. I know life isn't perfect, but I know for a fact there are a lot more BEAUTIFUL stories than we hear on CNN or Fox News.

So let me know what you think of my idea my dear blog friends. Until then, stop and find something to be thankful for. If it's a person, tell them you are thankful. If it's a something, then so be it. Let's start making our little pieces of the world a bit happier.

Love you!
