I've realized something... Christianity.... I'm doing it wrong.... So wrong. I wonder why I'm so hard on myself. It's because I'm trying too hard. And then I blame myself...no wonder I'm stressed. When did it start being me and my efforts instead of Jesus, knowing it's not what I did, but what HE did for me?

I'm so hard on myself...which is why I need to stop trying, and let God be my strength. But... I don't know how.
*sigh* It's late. I should sleep and pray. Probably not in that order.

Research Inositol, Ev. A lot of holistic professionals recommend it as a very safe, natural way to help with anxiety and stress. It comes in a powder form that's sweet and tastes good. You can purchase it at health stores, or (for much cheaper) on eBay.

"Pure Inositol Powder"

Everyone is different, but it has really helped a lot of my family and friends.

My local health foods store more than likely has it... And my holistic doc definitely sells it. I should actually make an appointment with him... I know somewhat what he'd tell me, but the other half is helping my internal scale back into balance, and that can be helped through vitamins/herbal things.

Evie, I identify with you here. It's crazy how we can grow up in the faith and still believe so many lies. I highly recommend a book that I've been reading and have almost finished. This quote below is from the book. The truths herein are simple but difficult to believe. Once we change our mindset and realise that, as Christians, we have a renewed spirit and mind and that our bodies are a work in progress (and perfected upon Jesus return), we will begin to live more in the freedom Christ has for us. Once we realise the Father's love for us, we will love Him all the more and be free to share that same love of His with the people around us. I'm learning this too, my dear sister. I think we all are.

The Son of Man has been lifted up. Religion would have us look at our sins.
God is saying, "Look at my Son."

- Andrew Farley, "God Without Religion"

My boss was having a hard day today so I decided to try and cheer her up. She was having her lunch break in the staffroom, reading a book as she did this when I quietly snuck up behind her. I then threw the plastic cockroach over her shoulder which against all odds, landed in her food. She gasped but didn't look overly surprised. She gave me an unimpressed look as I burst out in laughter. Before I left work to go home, I blu-tacked the cockroach to her computer screen. But that's okay, she was having a hard day. There's always tomorrow and many more ways to bring a smile to her face.

I love cheering people up.

My family just keeps getting hit. Spice (our dog) has a tumor that needs to be removed. The doctor is not looking all that optimistic about it.

I totally had a clip of Rachel20 singing something, and now it looks like the post is deleted. For why?!

P.S. You have a nice singing voice, Rachel!

Aye, but she took it down. :( I opened up the clip in a private browsing window, so it didn't save my history at the time.

Wait...Rachelsedge uploaded a clip of her singing, also?? :D I'd like to hear that!

I'm tired. I'm in physical pain. For all I know, I probably wouldn't even wake up if I head to sleep. Just what I'm going to do.
