Sometimers Disease Strikes Again

I suffer from Sometimers once in awhile, when I'm really tired. This disease is when you sometimes forget things and sometimes don't...

It's helpful when you are avoiding someone (Oh, I forgot that it was your birthday) and really bad when you need to be taking care of something important, like, your body..(Oh, I forgot to eat today while I was painting with highly toxic fumes in a basement suite that has no openable windows....)

My Sometimers seems to be triggered by a lack of sleep, huge and overwhelming task list and a poor eating regime brought on by Halloween and its diabetic inducing snacks....Sometimers makes me tired and grumpy and ready to bash heads in at Home Depot.

Is there a cure?

Probably: 48 hours uninterrupted sleep, a full body massage and a partially dressed Hugh Jackman feeding me grapes......I feel very certain that I could concentrate on life if i attained these things...The thing is, I don't have the real budget for any of these items. I could swing a 2 hour nap....a hot tub sit....a glass of wine with my husband....SOLD!

I forgot, what was I talking about?

Anyways, about that thing that I was supposed to remember from driving home from Home Depot again...the amazing thing that God just dropped into my head and my heart and my spirit that illuminated my life for the 20 min drive home.....the thing that I wanted to write down and share....

It left.

Darn Sometimers.

I have faith that that momentary loveliness of spirit that God blessed me with is making its way back through the synapses in my mind, and I have hope that perhaps it will be even more wonderful than I remember because for a moment I lost it..

Thank goodness God never leaves me, no matter how forgetful I am when I am ill and tired and stressed to the max.... in my readings in Deuteronomy this week God reminds the Israelites that they are to move into the promised land, and that He is pushing the people out ahead of them little by little. Because if He did it too fast, the wild would take over the land before the Israelites could. I needed to hear that God is so gracious that He intends to take the renovations in my own heart slowly. So that I am not lost in too much freedom and run wild...but that I also don't stop in my progress and end up never having any change in my heart..

It's like the proverb that says, God give me enough to eat so that I don't have to beg, but not so much that I get lazy and forget your provision...

I might be forgetful today, but God isn't, and He is working out His kingdom in my life and the lives of others around me...

Having a day of rest ahead of me is keeping me going today...what is keeping you going?
