...........it's monday

so much to think about....
thankful i followed the tuggin on my heart to read first thing this a.m....trying to put aside the thoughts weighing on my mind....my heart is aching over the loss of loved ones for some, the loss of trust and dreams in relationships for others, what role i have in reaching out to ones that are constantly on a rollercoaster of ups & downs.
what responsibility do i have....to lead a lesson-i can't make others do their part to better understand things...i'm only human, not perfect, not all knowing...just blessed to be in a position to lead in sharing our history. i don't like using this line, but the underlying truth seems to fit-'you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.' aren't pple thirsty, i feel like i'm dehydrating sometimes....what do you turn to instead of the Well of Life? sometimes i turn to food, sometimes others again i am thankful today i started out turning to you, when it could have been so easy to be distracted by other things goin on around me. i am hopeful that God will bless the rest of our day, that know that what i read will be in my heart to be useful to whatever the day brings-not that i expect just rainbows and giggles, but through it all. i am calling on the truths i read to assist in dealin with what is weighing on my heart. some of my sisters (and brothers) in Christ are going through such real struggles today.
