My computer is sick so I had to take it to the fix it store. I escaped to the base library so I could catch up and leave a note. No, I'm not addicted I can quit any time I want. :)
I am frantically trying to beat the 30 minute time frame so please ignore any and all typos!
Yesterday morning was frustrating. I spent two hours rearranging my living and dining area only to discover that nothing works. Now my house is a wreck and I don't have time to put it back together! I dashed off to my counseling session. Yes, I partake in secular counseling. It keeps me from running off my friends and keeps me from killing the family. Today she told me that I was a very smart woman that was capable of sound judgment and reasonable thought processes. My problem? I have to learn to calm down. Hmmm.. you think?! Ok, so she begin to teach me how to breath and told me that I needed to practice when I was calm so that when I began to become uncalm I could use the breathing to help. This was perhaps the most productive session I've had with her. As I left though I was thinking yea right! Breathing I KNOW how to breath. I can't wait to share this with bloogy world. What I need is some scripture verses that I can memorize WHILE I breath. because you and I both know the only thing that will keep a raging bull calm is GOD!
This morning was much more productive. Since I went to bed at 2000 the night before getting up was a breeze. Michael was up as hour earlier than usual as well. He helped me move the piano back to its original place. Yes, I did move it by myself yesterday, but there was NO way it was going to happen again. Then I spent the morning with my friend eating and chatting. It was a wonderful delightful morning. I do have something that I must do, if you guys would join me in prayer as to just how and when I would be grateful.
While I was with my friend Gab was having an anxiety attack at school. She had tried numerous times to reach me but my phone was off. As soon as I got the messages I tried to call her to no avail. When I picked her up she was fine and shared with me the ordeal. I praised her and empathized with her. It was rough, but she prevailed and got what needed to be done, done, with out me. YEA! I am always there for her and always will be, but somethings just have to be worked through.
Now I'm at the library with you guys. :)
I have a funny to share. Gab has gotten her driver's permit, therefore I let her drive from time to time. She got "bored" with driving really quick. I'm sure it had nothing to do with my silent screams from the passengers seat. She is actually an excellent driver. I'm just not a good shot gun rider; just ask her dad.
Just got told time's up. have to finish later.
About Me
- Robin
- I am married to a wonderful man that has lots of patience. I have a daughter who is now married and a son who still lives at home. I love my family more than anything. Almost more than anything; I also love Jesus. He and I are growing closer day by day. Some times I lose my way and He has to pull me back and remind me how sweet it is to be in fellowship with Him!

Kudos to you, Robs! You have leaped a hurdle most people just won't even recognize. The willingness to seek and accept guidance from an unbiased professional shows your strength and determinaton. The Lord can use secular counselors just as He uses your family doctor. You ARE all the good things she said PLUS a lot more. I'll pray that she can help you find the tools that work for you, including a good Scripture mantra. (Psalms!)Gabby cleared a hurdle today, too. God has His hand on you both, and will never leave you nor forsake you.
Love you! D.
You make me laugh. YOu sound soo much like me, it is comical. It sounds like we deal with the same issues in our families.
ditto to dc's comment. It is a major hurdle to jump, and seek help. Our entire family has been to counseling, one of my boys is in therapy now, soon I'm sure the oldest will be also, Rob and I have been too. It is a great thing, for many reasons, one of that I find helpful is that when you see someone in need you encourage them (if need be--or they ask) to seek counseling, without sounding like you are putting them down. (sorry for the long post, and I hope it made sense.) I'll try and help with the scripture thing for you.
Have a blessed day!
