After all I've done.

Dropped into a basket, dropped into a river, adopted into a fine family.

Running for my life, peace in the plains.

Tending to animals, tending to my family, happy.

But you.....

I have gone through ridicule, hunger and thirst, screaming children, an attempted mutiny, threats on my life.

And now......this is it?

I go no farther?

Forty some years of doing whatever you asked and you stop me here?

Oh, and now I have to train, encourage, and strenthen my replacement.

I can't believe this.

After all I've done.......

My Five.....and more

1. I am intensely loyal and defensive of those that I love and care about. Sometimes to a fault, I fear.

2. I have an intense love for my family which is why it is so difficult being so far away from them. My brother and his wife travel for a living. My only niece and her husband and children live in Hawaii right now but are on the move again when he gets stationed elsewhere. My mother is in heaven, since 1990 and my dad, 84yrs. old, is local.

3. I am highly insecure and yet I am also a strong, take control, type of woman. Figure that out!

4. Like Lee, not much of a chocolate fan and also like white chocolate better.

5. Love to write, hate to read.

6. I build walls to protect my feelings even though I am on open book.

7. I watch too much t.v.

8. I love God, He loves me but I still keep trying to win Him.

9. I have been a licensed minister for 3 years now and have a strong passion for preaching even though the many trials often make me want to give up.

10. I am determined to go all the way with Christ!

Too much info?

It is persistent in it's pursuit for my attentions and affections.

It stands in direct oppostion of God in me.

It fights against my heart's desire.

It is sneaky and often creeps in without notice.

It brings hurt, frustration, anguish, and pain.

I am often overcome by it's power.

It is a foe of mind, spirit, and soul.

It taunts me and tempts me.

Though I see no goodness in it, still I entertain it.

Still, I try to calm and appease it's desires.

Once again, I will rise up against it.

Once again, I will defeat it.

Once again.......until tomorrow.
