I haven't spent quality time talking with God today. J and I are going to a wedding this afternoon and he's in it, so he is out doing wedding day stuff.
I'm here by myself at the Country Inn Suites blow drying my hair- feeling lonely and anxious. As I'm blow drying my hair-it gets sucked into the back of it and I have to yank it out to break free, which only irritates my already anxious mood. I start having thoughts like, "Hmm I don't feel like getting ready, I don't like being alone. I should just go lose myself in the internet; flip through Facebook, gmail, blogs, and music videos. I feel crappy and when I feel crappy that comforts me."
As I'm debating about spending my last free moments of the day on the internet instead of talking with God, I eat five cookies. All the while I hear in my head, "None of that will make you feel better."
guh...I want to make the better decision and sit with my bible open- pouring out my heart to God, but I don't -
I eat the 5 cookies and get on the internet to write this.
And now with my free time spent I'm off to the wedding with my hair blow dried, blog written and quality time spent with God=zero
"you have been given fullness in Christ [not cookies or the internet]." Colossians 2:10

Thank You for you thoughts. I found them while clicking on we feel fine website. www.wefeelfine.org Your thought was one of thousands floating about. I am glad I clicked on yours. God is better than 5 cookies. So many unhappy people today. May I send my love to you and wish you a happy day. Dale from the UK xxx
