Well, it's my first post on my new blog, and I come from a place of mental exhaustion, and in need of renewal. I was scrambling for a few minutes trying to figure out what I can do to relieve all this pressure, all this stress of trying to help clients save their home, when I realized my favorite coping mechanism: GOD. He should be our only coping mechanism. But that term "coping mechanism" carries such a negative connotation these days simply because coping with something means you are dealing with some negativity in your life, for one, and secondly, quite honestly, most people choose the wrong mechanism that leads them into a worse spot than they started.
God should be our first choice. I was chatting with a friend at our Bible Study last night, and he was thinking about kicking a certain, well, habit. I recalled from my days of breaking habits, especially ones that are so entangled into our daily lives, that the best way of kicking a habit is to get a new distraction. With relationship partners, all too frequently, its easiest to move on to a new distraction in the form of a person.... however disastrous this may mutate into at a later date. While I was not strong enough at any point in my personal walk to avoid getting into an entanglement of love, I was at least able to get myself off of, we'll just call it 'another" addiction quite easily. I started pouring all of my energies into seeking Truth, one of my most favoritest hobbies! :) This Journal shall serve as my point of expression to the world (and quite frankly my 'cloud-based record' since I have and OLD laptop), of my discoveries and experiences along the way.
While I started this Journal in a beautiful book, and wrote it all out by hand before this, I am going to start afresh here, laying it all out there, but bear in mind there is Oh so much more I can bear witness to that at this point shall be yet unrevealed.
