Being without power for 3 days has helped me to focus more clearly on
MY POWER SOURCE.
What do I use as MY POWER SOURCE?
Where do I go when MY "LIGHT" is not on for me to see clearly?
When do I evaluate MY POWER?"
Why do I need a POWER SOURCE?
How do I use MY SOURCE for power?
Do I go to the PHONE or the THRONE when I am powerless?
If the Sunday morning sermon is boring and I resort to balancing my checkbook, what is wrong?
Is anyone else responsible for my power?
Having evaluation testing available to oneself, is not necessarily a good thing. Oh, I can evaluate others and diagnose what is THEIR problem, but can I be objective when diagnosing my own idiosyncrasies?
Saying you have ADHD and knowing it, is like a doctor self medicating - It's probably dangerous or at least funny to some. Tom used to say, "And what is going on at the circus today?" He was referring to the noise level in my head. He knew that my head is an ever-changing chaotic mish mash of "THINGS" all happening at the same time. Some times when I "check out" of reality, my "Circus" becomes my reality. Sounds strange doesn't it. ( I don't think I've ever put that information in writing before.) I like my "head" world better sometimes. Fantasy is usually better. That is probably why I've always liked Disney.
Right now, I am working on my relationship with MY POWER SOURCE - God. I have always known He is in control. I think my biggest problem is believing HE wants to help ME, personally. I go in and out of relying on Him like I should, and letting reality take over my mind. Reality says - "Hey! You don't have (etc. insert whatever is the next think you want) and if God RELLLLLLLLLLLLLLY loved you He would get it for you." Common sense tells you a good parent doesn't let their child have everything they want - only what they need. So how does this "devil talk" enter my "CIRCUS?"
Getting tired of being sick and tired, I resort to reading about JOB. What problems. And, then his friends come to visit. "Nuff said?"
God is good - all the time; All the time - God is good. I HAVE TO stay in the scriptures, focus on Him and "lean not unto my own understanding." And, when you get right down to it, what is reality any way?
My In Law Grandmother, Sally, was a wise christian woman. One week-end just after I found out I was pregnant with Tommy, we were visiting her in KY. I had been soooooooooooo sick and was having a hard time getting up to get ready for church. She had breakfast ready, and I guess I kind of turned green. She looked me square in the eyes and said, "Sometimes the most religious thing we can do, is go back to bed. Go on girl. Get back in bed." She was my hero. That is also Ween's best advice. I think I will. Progress Energy eat your heart out.
