Then I pray, even though I usually don't feel like it, because what could God really want from me?<br /><br />Then, well, then I usually end up crying because in those drifting moments I'm reminded all that I do mean to Him. And Melissa, you do too. :))) Even these bad days are for some purpose. Love and prayers are sent your way, and I'll say some for myself. Goodness knows we all can use some TLC...Anna Scott Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744202738210301084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-45288236703840068482011-10-21T15:53:21.674-06:002011-10-21T15:53:21.674-06:00I was in that spot this summer.

I was in avoidance, and I hated myself for it because my first reaction was to chalk it up to laziness. <br /><br />But there was a little bit of "sickness" that i was still recovering from. Thanks for the reminder not to beat up sick people - even ourselves.Margo Berendsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476308235642890474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-7177551663988367982011-10-20T09:00:57.000-06:002011-10-20T09:00:57.000-06:00Great insights daughter:-) And I love how you cha...Great insights daughter:-) And I love how you change your blog to fit the seasons - it is awesome - so colorful:-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633709570508990103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-33155136722673914262011-10-20T09:00:48.995-06:002011-10-20T09:00:48.995-06:00A good lesson to remember no matter what the situa...A good lesson to remember no matter what the situation we're beating ourselves up over is.

You've been on a roll, you've been doing well. Maybe this is just a little glitch before the next escalating episode.
