Rain, then a bit more rain, now a downpour. And yes, I did sit out in the pouring rain to watch my son play soccer. My thought was that if I expected him to stand and play in the rain in that flimsy soccer uniform, the least I could do was put on multiple layers of clothing, wear that 'never goes out of fashion' yellow rain coat, sit on a trash bag and huddle under an umbrella! It was raining so hard I could see sheets of rain flowing thru the air in the field lights.
What a day. Started off with my usual oatmeal, sat down to the computer and made sure my resignation email went to the church. After months of putting up with rumors and gossip I have finally reached my end point. It is time for me to take care of myself and my family. If the minister of your church is going to be part of the problem and not part of the solution - it is time to get out. Last night I sent my 'good-bye' email to my teens and parents. Did good at lunch and only had the rest of my dinner from last night that I couldn't finish - me - too upset to eat - WOW, what a transformation over the past year. Dinner was yogurt and a piece of cheese pizza. Looking good for today. I did have a little chocolate to curb the usual and predictable cravings.
One of my devotions today was this: our spirits bounce back from hurt and depression...they are more easily renewed when we take proper care of our bodies, since we are a total entity of heart, mind, body and spirit...today, I will look for ways to feed my spirit. Resigning at church and allowing myself the time and space to heal will not only help me but help my family. When I go overboard and stress out I take the whole family with me...this just is not fair to them.
