One Day at a Time

 Thanks so much for the feedback from my last entry, you guys... :) I found it all very helpful and encouraging--don't ever feel like you shouldn't tell me something because I already know! (Narelle... ;))

I don't have much to put in this update right now. In fact, I'm mainly updating because I have nothing better to do. :P For those of you who didn't know, my mom, four siblings and I were all in a car accident last Friday morning (a week and a day ago), so ever since then, Mom and I have been taking it easy and doing lots of sitting and sleeping. I was just saying to Mom how I can't imagine anyone being able to stand not being busy with SOMETHING for longer than a couple of days... it sure was nice to take it easy the first few days (although physical pain or discomfort is never "nice" :P), but after a while... it just gets tiring and boring! So here I am, trying to keep busy with something and you all get to partake. (Don't you all feel special.)

As far as an update on how I'm doing emotionally, well... I guess, at this stage of things, it's hard to keep in perspective what the problems were to begin with. It's confusing though, because everything changes so drastically and so quickly... one minute, things seem so obvious and clear that breaking up was the right thing at least for this point in both of our lives. Even sometimes it's "obvious" that the differences between us would always make us unhappy in the future. But then just as often, if not more so, it's easy to forget about all of those and they almost seem like petty complaints... all of a sudden, the "problems" look like nothing more than a slight tiff you just have to get over and deal with--and those happen with ANY relationship. So... yeah. It's hard to keep things in perspective. So I'm just taking things one day at a time.

Beautiful Deborah... you don't know me, but I understand you're the originator of this Group (our family are old friends of the Gilman's from back in the early 80's in Vancouver BC)... I've admired you/your work online since joining the group a couple of yrs ago when the Gilman's were active on here.  Am so glad to hear that you and your family are recovering well from the car accident.  Wanted to take the time to say HELLO from BC and  that it's a privilege to read your blog and keep all these things in prayer on your behalf.

This was posted by a beautiful believer from Singapore on blogspot which I thought summarized the essence of marriage/covenant in Jesus, "Marriage is a 3nity ~Ian and I believe that our marriage has another partner - Christ. It is not just about the 2 of us and our promise to each other - it is about Jesus and His promises to us. =) "

Many blessings to you Deborah!

.. saw this quote and thought of you and His grace evident in you and in your vocation "Grace is the light, our loving heart is the film, Jesus is the person who fills the lens of our soul, and soon a heavenly photograph of his character is produced." - Charles H Spurgeon

So I can say things on here that are obvious???  BONUS!

This, is up -- ^

This, is down -- v

This, is right -- >

This, is left -- <

(the last two, it would seem, are not as obvious to some as you would think .. *blink*)

Ok .. now that i am over that which i couldnt resist, I want to say that i am sorry that you are having such a rough trott, as we call it here. Do realise that you are one of many many that i know of Deb. The Lord is shaking his people all around the world now to get the unnecessary and damaging or potentially damaging from our lives. I myself have been shaken to a point at times that i think my teeth now rattle .. at least i can see the stress marks on them.  The body of Christ may be in shakedown mode, but the thing is that although we cant see it right now, this is the very best for us in the longrun.  We see from our perspective right in the midst, where God sees from his perspective which takes in time, forknowledge and wisdom beyond our understanding. Dont forget to worship Him Deb. In the midst of the storm ... worship Him!  It will bring that peace that passes understanding and will get your mind off the wirlwhind and onto higher things that will make all other stuff seem insignificant.

Love you,

Narelle

Hi Deb. I usually read all my Xanga subscriptions via e-mail and never comment, but I'm trying to visit everyone this week and say hello! (Who doesn't love a comment, right??) You, as are all my 'online friends', are always in my prayers.
