First off.. do you like my new 'do'? I decided it would be fun to do some holiday headers. And since I make them myself, they're FREE! I've already got a cute photo I'll probably use during Christmas if it will work well in this format etc.
-------------------------
I've been really stressed out lately. There are things going on and I find myself thinking and figuring and struggling to know what the right thing to do is. And I've found myself being logical and weighing the pro's and con's and I'm just so tired.
We were never meant for that sort of thinking. I know sometimes people say 'well, God gave me a brain' and although, yes He did, He never meant for us to use it to figure out our own way. And that's what I've been doing lately. Working on this problem. Figuring this thing out. Wondering about this or that. That's always been what I thought my 'safe' word was.. wondering. It's not actively figuring, it's just thinking. I don't think God buys into my thinkin'!
But I spend too much time thinkin' and not enough time falling on my face before God. I guess that's what I'm confessing. That I need more of Him and that He's been showing me patterns in myself that I don't like and drawing me closer to Himself. And showing me I need to let go of my thinking and listen to Him. I like that.
He is the answer to struggle and lack of 'rest'... Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)

I Love the fall theme! I just might have to try to do the same - I'm not terribly handy with the software though.
Your new look is great. Have a lovely day!
Yes, I like the new "do"! It has a decidedly Fall flavor to it.
About that struggling thing ... it comes with the turf (being alive). I have come to see how it can take a lifetime of letting go to understand not only the wisdom of it, but the way of it.
You're on the right track though. Besides, you are His and He will arrive just in the nick of time with the answer you're seeking.

Hey friend.. very cute on the header. Very cute indeed. Good job. I took a picture of one of the roses in my garden the other day and the wall of the house was in the background... i thought of you. :)
Your thought here is interesting as I heard this past weekend: There are something we're just not meant to know. Like Adam & Eve... we weren't meant to know all that we do but Eve just HAD to and eat of the tree of Knowledge of good and evil... leading to what you're talking about.
Anyways, I'm not making sense, but you sure did.
