Augh!

Wow, have you ever had those times when things are going fantastic and smooth and you lul yourself into a false sense of security then when you least expect it and want it, things suddenly blow up and you didnt even see it coming? I seem to be having one of those weeks or actually fortnights. Things at work are a bit crazy other stuff is going haywire and to top it off I have this stupid cold- grrr. Anyway, thats my whinge for the day- yeah yeah- poor Melly and all that nonsense. The reason for writing this is not to have people feel sorry for me it is to write about how I seem to function- when things are going really well I am always thanking God and praising Him then when things go bad I automaticaaly go into 'self' mode and try to sort everything out on my own. When it gets to boiling point (which it rarely does) and I sit there for hours trying to figure out what to do- only then that I stop and think- "Right- you actually CANT do this on your own- you have to rely on God" and then I pray about it and it seems to reduce- I mean the problems are still there but it is like I am able to see through the fog and think it out- it took me a long time to realise this and you would think that I would do this before it gets to this point but with tedeous regularity I try to rely on myself- Not too bright huh!!!

Anyway I am looking forward to the Church Conference coming up this weekend- last year was fantastic and I am sure this year will be just as good- I love spending time with other people from church- particularly those who I dont see very often from other services and just being away from the rest of the world for 2 days- studying God's word and just hanging out- YAY!

Sorry it has been so long since I last wrote- up until recently my life has been completely boring and stress free and have not had anything to write about.

Good work Mel. It takes a certain level of maturity to be able to figure out stuff like that and apply it.
Of course, like you said, it's damn hard, but it seems to be like lots of things, you get better at them over time.
I know for me, the length of time before the "Duh, just leave it to God" revelation gets a little shorter each time.
