As I told you in my last post, my life has pretty much fallen apart. It's been so encouraging to read all your comments; thanks for leaving them! The thing I've figured out is that all of us feel the same way at some point in our lives, no matter who we are. Our lives spin out of control, we hit a wall, and hopefully get back up. Some get up faster than others and unfortunately some never get back up. I feel like I'm on the road to getting back up.
I'm not able to drive anymore which is KILLING me. I've had to change my whole life. It's a truly humbling experience for me. I've been spending a lot of time alone, walking or riding my bike. My 60 mph life has become a 10mph life. I've cut my hours in half at work (so I went from part-time to super part-time), given most of my Verve responsibilities to Vince's new assistant (Can I tell you how awesome God is?! One of our supporting churches is paying Vince's assistant's salary for the first year. We were desperate for help and God provided in a huge way), and am quitting Pampered Chef.
After just one week as the new "me" I already feel better. The key for me is going to be continuing to walk this way and not getting jacked up again.
Beth Moore says, "God desires to change us from the inside out-renewing our minds, starving our self-destructive tendencies, and teaching us to form new habits. These results come only to those who learn to walk all over again, this time with their Deliverer."
My plan is to bring you along on my journey. Hopefully I can keep some of you from making a mess of yourselves!
