Hoping for Better
So, I'm feeling rent... on the inside... it's a feeling of being torn and uncomfortable, without calm. On days like this my journal notes are my only comfort. With just two hours of sleep last night I'm feeling very shaky. My computer starting acting up yesterday. I haven't been able to get into my computer immediately when I open it. My phone stopped working for a while... bad day all around. When the Bible says each day has enough trouble of its own... some days it seems it has way too many.
Looking for a job makes me feel rent every day... very exhausting... more exhausting than working I'm sure.
I've been listening to a new speaker lately. Sometimes you have to look for new inspiring speakers just to perk up and... my goal is always to hear something said in a new way to encourage me to keep going. I read a really good book lately as well and it has become another of my 'reference' books for advice and encouragement.
Finding your purpose is supposed to be very important. One man said it this way..., "It keeps you solid, secure, it's your mooring... to accomplish what we wish to accomplish."
I wish I could specify my purpose but I cannot yet.
A very good reason to take good notes and keep a journal of them... from good authors and speakers... is this.
When you write down these truthisms that just strike you as really good advice as you listen or read from learned people... you can review these notations which are kind of like proverbs in a way... little pieces of good advice that I need to verify or refute something someone has said to me. Someones' opinion of you may be way off course and keeping a foundation built on Biblical principles will root out any bad or careless opinions.

Courage
I used to fear that word because it seemed like something needed to deal with people and confrontation... and I do not enjoy confrontation. So, here's a statement from this great book I just read.
"It takes courage for the conflict necessary to free yourself."
So, not an easy word, courage, but it seems to be necessary and I respect myself each time I have the courage to face someone honestly.
