Unsettled...Anxious....Frustrated.....Disappointed........Sad.....Defeated........Undone
The weekend is over and those words expressed my emotions this morning. I know I won't stay there and usually I don't post my negative thoughts, but somehow I just wanted to be honest. I'm hoping to put it out there will help to move me away from the feelings.
Nothing is really all that wrong. I had a significant amount of alone time over the weekend and spent the vast majority of that time studying. I took care of some household chores that needed doing. I spent some time with various family members and I had fun with the photo challenge.
So there's not really any reason to feel such negative emotions.
I didn't get as much done on my term paper as I had hoped, but I did start it and I do have next weekend to work on it.
I don't feel completely ready for Tuesday's test, but I did get over all of the material and have some good notes to review. I have time to do that tonight.
I didn't get all of the household chores done that probably should have been done, but I did some things that I had been putting off for a while and my hubby says he'll help on the ones I didn't get done.
I have made some poor eating choices this past week, but I can make better choices today.
There is so much positive and yet the negative seems to overwhelm and for no REAL reasons. I feel like a wimp for even posting these frustrations.
Lord, I need YOU and Your strength today. Please help me focus on You and the good things. Transform my poor choices into good choices. Change my focus to one of positive, productive thinking. Help me know that I have nothing worth complaining about.
Thanks for letting me vent a bit!!
I think I do feel better.

Boy, Karen, it sounds like you and I had the same weekend. Not the same activities but the same emotions and negative thoughts. Disillusionment, disappointment... Ouch! I didn't know I was feeling as bad as I was until a car almost hit us as it pulled into my lane to exit. I started yelling and laid on my horn for about 30 seconds. Chad said "Who are you, Mom?You're a different person!"
I realized then how angry and frustrated I was feeling. But I slept alot yesterday and feel better today. I was wondering where it all came from too. Thanks for sharing your feelings. It's good to know we're not the only ones who feel that way sometimes. It finally occurred to me that God can still be trusted even when I'm feeling this way.
Hope you did well on your test today!!!hughugs
it is amazing, that while we are surrounded by all things wonderful....that we can still be overcome with emotions we don't understand.....maybe it's in the air! :)
i enjoyed your post...

The ability to attach negative thoughts to an event or an action lies deep inside us. If we carefully look at them, we can alleviate them. Your conscious mind knows for a fact that you did all the things you could possibly do.. but your subconscious mind reminds you of the things you didn't complete and hence the probable feel of guilt. My 2 cents: Try to think what bad could happen if I didn't do a certain thing that I should have, when the Lord is on my side!. Usually it is just our fear of certain consequences that gives us these negative thoughts. Free yourself! You will find a new bliss in life.
