you are in charge
as much as anyone can be
doesn't mean you're taking charge
just that it is your reponsibility"you are not the boss of me"
(a line from my childhood,
now used humorously to ward off
those who would attempt authority
where none is to be allowed)i don't believe anyone ever reaches "in charge" fully, so maybe you could try that concept on for size and see if a higher degree of contentment might be within reach if you drop the whole anxiety of who's in charge.
i've been giving it a shot...
of course, i don't have princesses and mr man to deal with, say nothing of the family next door and the small town b.f. missouri complexities.you suffered a loss recently, i believe i read...?
my condolences, an arm protectively around your shoulders, lean in and cry, and realize you are not alone.even when you can't see me and don't hear from me, i'm still here, you're still on my mind, which means God knows my concerns for you also, as well as He knows you.
"pray ceaselessly" my Bible said.
well, He's always in my head
be i asleep or be i awake
how much more "ceaselessly" could it take?
