I'm sure it's going to harder as time goes on with Mom being where she is, but we all have to remember how much of a blessing it is that she is helping out so many people there. I'm excited to see everyone for Thanksgiving. It's so close. Ahh! But I have to go and get ready to perform tonight. Again. Lol. Love that stage thing! Oh, I wanna go to that 50's stuff with ya. if I was there, I'd totally go with you. I could bring my new swoon. Her name is Ileva, we're going out on Sunday (the only day we're both available) to go see Across the Universe.

It was awesome! But the personal revelation I recieved from the lesson was this: If we put more attention on what satan is doing to us, and how bad and annoying he is, then the less we are putting our attention on God, and what good He has done for us. The facts are going to remain, no matter what we think about or put our attention on, satan is always going to be doing bad things to us, and God is always going to be doing good things to and for us, but we decide which one we want to focus on. And the great thing about that is, whichever one we focus more on, whether its how much we hate and loath satan, or how much we love and adore God, the one we focus more on is the one that will appear more to us. Either we will find more reasons to hate satan cuz he keeps finding more ways to get to us, OR, we find more reasons to love God cuz He will keep finding more ways to bless us. Capisci?! Sorry, Ill get off my soap box now. I really dont mean to be non empathetic or sympathetic, I am just excited about what I was taught today. I love you Sis, and we will get through this, not alone, but all together.Beauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837176676436897234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31425258.post-53064715024032772762007-11-09T13:23:00.000-06:002007-11-09T13:23:00.000-06:00sigh...i'm so sorry that this is difficult for you...sigh...i'm so sorry that this is difficult for you. when is your mom done?(sorry if i'm offending, i just don't know). i'm glad that you're at least able to still talk with her pretty regularly. maybe not amking it any easier but dulling the aches that come with seperation. I'm glad that you let robert comofrt you. I think that i have the same diffculty in not wanting brook to know when i am down or depressed about something. in my mind i don't want him to get discourged about things like i am so i try to hide it (does that make any sense?). i know that it was good for you to let him comfort you and good for him as well. hey, at least it isn't scorching any more...or is it? :)Tamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17874273695706797628noreply@blogger.com
