So I must confess…I am a bit overwhelmed right now. You ever
felt blah but didn’t know why? Or just felt sad out of seemingly nowhere…and
all of a sudden!? I’m feeling that way now…
Apart from life (work, baby, sleep deprivation, baby,
husband, life, visa expiring, work, job hunting, greencard application, life,
selling house, moving,…etc) I think my feelings came when I looked for
encouragement from the wrong place/person. Have you ever tried to encourage
someone to do something simply because you really want to do it? For instance,
think about studying your bible more, being more healthy, anything…Have you
ever said to your best friend, family, or significant other, “Hey! I think it would
be a great idea if we did such and such…” Hoping that they would respond with
your same enthusiasm. When I do that…I am looking for encouragement to
implement my idea…Except, I don’t want to do it alone…I don’t want to grow
spiritually alone…I don’t want to exercise alone…I don’t want to be the only
one trying to eat healthy…I don’t want to cry alone…I don’t want to suffer
alone…etc. etc.
