I've been feeling, for lack of a better word, unmotivated lately. I'm not deppressed or particularly anxious, perhaps a little stressed and overwhelmed. And yet I'm thankful.
I'm thankful for my job. For those I get to pray with and for during this economic downturn. I'm thankful that I'm not in the same situation and thankful that the Lord is providing for those who are.
I'm thankful for the folks at AZbizbank who look forward to the fact that I'll be there almost everyday this week due to month end.
I'm thankful for Sarah and Stevo and the green sticky note which reminds me to pray for them.
I'm thankful for those at WABC who allow me to admit my shortcomings and insecurities and unexplainable issues.
I am admittedly unmotivated and the house is cluttered, but I'm allowing myself to feel this way. Beating myself up about it sure doesn't work. I'm also thankful.

Fun at the Airport
Tonight, I spent two great hours at the airport. I went with Charitie to welcome home (a few) members of Team Croatia.
She'll tell you we got lost. The truth is I missed the initial turn for parking so we circled Terminal 4 a few times. Then we parked at terminal 2 and took the bus to baggage claim back at terminal 4. I was not going to repark.
We had pizza at the airport. It was a chance to catch up and give each other a hard time :0) I do miss taking her to school. Not only is she funny, but she let's me be funny.
Then the bus took the long way back to terminal 2.
Then she tells me she doesn't have her house key. And her mom isn't home yet. She got to hang out in my cluttered abode.
This is not what I had planned for the evening. I had to reschedule my training at Curves and didn't even get a shower after working out (Papa was doing laundry when I got home and I can't stand cold showers). Even after a change of clothes I was still sweaty and stinky.
It was totally worth it.

Don't Read God's Word
I wrote this back in 2003. It's just as true today.
If you want things to stay the same DON'T READ GOD'S WORD
If you want to wallow in your feelings and temptations DON'T READ GOD'S WORD
If you want to continue feeling hopeless DON'T READ GOD'S WORD
If you want believe that He doesn't love you DON'T READ GOD'S WORD
If you want to believe that He isn't on your side, there for you every single minute DON'T READ GOD'S WORD
You see, reading His word changes everything. No, it doesn't change our circumstances, it does even better. God's word changes US.
And it doesn't really matter which verses you read either. This entry was actually inspired by Exodus 14-16. Spending time in His presence is all that really matters.
