de-cluttering

Well its come to that time in my life that l need to de-clutter. Mostly in my life there are a lot of changes l need to make. I can't just expect God to do it all if l don't put any effort in trying myself.

I am now spending more time with him by reading the word and thru music (as l said in my last post) and l can see that is helping with the negatives in my life. But l also have been challenged to give some things up or set a limit on them.

So first l de-cluttered facebook and got rid of some people on there. Some who are never on there or whom we don't even communicate on there, and sorry to say some who are very negative in life. It's just not helping my life and my struggles.

I was doing really well the other day with my anxiety until l got onto facebook and saw a few people who have gastro/virus and there went my postive thoughts as soon as l saw it. So l hid their posts. Horrible it sounds but it the little things like that that are setting me off and then l just go downhill. I am sure those who have been there can understand what l am saying.

I am also trying to limit my time on the net and doing more with the kids and family. Yesterday afternoon we spent some time down on the Yarra River feeding the ducks and then playing in the park, then went to meet Mr N at the library and came home. Poor Miss T was worn out but we all had a ball and it meant my mind being busy on enjoying time with my children.

And now the kids are at kindy l am making the most of it and de-cluttering the house (well their rooms) have spent all morning in there. But looks great.

Now lunch is calling me.

Trusting in God

Hello all,

Been a while since l have been in here. Life has been good. Been battling my battles with the help of God, and can happily say l am getting there. Spending more time with God in music and the Word and really enjoying it. Also been reading the Joyce Meyer book which is helping a lot esp with understanding how our mind work, and how negative thoughts can really bring us down in life.

Isn't it amazing that when you spend time with God and read his Word, you start to hear it more and more where-ever you go. I have been reading about trusting in God, having faith in him and that was today's message. I guess its God's way of wanting you to hear it more and more, and to be blessed by it.

But l am battling my fears and anxiety (about the health issues or non-issues) and sure one day is good and the next the enemy will attack when l am down. But l know l can get thru it with the help of God and my good friends and family.

Happy Birthday to me.

Happy Birthday to me. It has creapt up on me. I am finding now birthdays come and they are not as exciting as they used to be. The lead up to birthdays were always filled with anticipation and excitment and now they are filled with dread, not sure why that is. Maybe Because

1. We are turning another year older, and to be honest once you turn 30 its not quite exciting as being say 21.

2. Having kids you tend to focus more on their birthdays and tend to put more effort into theirs to make them special and unique.

However l am now another year older and l am sure another year wiser. Wiser in what l am not sure but l am sure it is there.
