I just experienced freedom – have been realizing, recently, that “something” was needed . . . That it was not just “getting old” (72, going on 73) that was making me feel tired and worn down – and that there had to be some reason why I simply “don’t keep house” any more! Oh, I stay busy (I just put together all the paperwork of what all I did in September into a file) preparing Sunday School lessons, Bible Study materials, Gideon Prayer lists, Prayer Guides, devotional for Women’s Ministry, and going to all the related events – plus at least one civic event and my high school reunion. And then there is the time I spend communicating with children and grandchildren and friends (mostly on facebook!) and praying for a vast array of needs concerning everything from the 26 great-grandchildren, to our world’s lost condition. And I do see to the “basic necessities” – food, clothing, etc . . . But along with daily time spent with God in His Word, I also idle away countless hours reading Christian novels, playing “innocuous” computer games, and following whatever catches my fancy in e-mails and posts by my family and friends . . . and sleep, basically, from 6 am to noon . . .
I will be following up . . . to maintain freedom from things like perfectionism, lethargy, and all those other “little fears” . . . Thank you,
Love and prayers,
Jean
