That'..."when life gets overwhelming." That's the truth for sure. I'm the type of person who sees a disaster of a kitchen and simply won't enter. I will go buy paper plates instead. lol Good thing I'm married otherwise we would probably never use real plates again!

Now I wish I had tied that together a little bit more! <br /><br />So...I have a very funny image of you being "heard muttering" around your home. I don't know how to describe it right now but I'm positive the image in my head is not accurate at all because it makes me giggle. <br /><br />However, I should probably spend more time "muttering" myself.

It's wonderful we have a network of people who lift us in prayers daily who don't have to know what's going on in our lives, but because they love us they ask for God's hand to be upon us. I am glad you don't feel like quitting anymore. God has lifted you from your dark place and set you on track. Thank you for your honesty!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332235454173435701.post-50141119843320285752014-04-20T16:24:33.833-07:002014-04-20T16:24:33.833-07:00"small, swift pokes" so so true. he&#..."small, swift pokes" so so true. he's no gentleman that's for sure. I have been heard muttering in my home "get thee behind me" from time to time. <br />That is the truth of life, we all have struggles, we all are attacked when we feel least strong. The dark reaches for us all. <br />It's actually the perfect post before Easter: He came to restore the light! :)LA Botcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045857399816360885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4332235454173435701.post-86342598455164391242014-04-19T21:13:32.460-07:002014-04-19T21:13:32.460-07:00I wrote about quitting too.

And it takes a lot of courage to admit that, to say "I want to quit," instead of just hunkering down and trying to pretend things are okay when they're not. The good news is that better times usually follow. Glad to hear you reached yours. :-)Anna K.

I believe they only take root when we don't acknowledge them and deal with them.
