Dear Diary.....A Testimony

So,I have to remember I want this to be a testimony. A testimony of how God changed and transformed my life. Last year at this time I was lucky to get a sale, I have had over 100 sales since Friday. 3 weeks ago, I couldn't get out of bed, now after seeing the right doctor I am up and functioning at full steam. It's good to know I'm not lazy, there was a problem. My world was so dark, all I could do was stick a tiny little fingertip out of this big dark circle to ask for help. But that was enough. In, through that pinhole, the light came. And help came. What a huge difference in the way I feel. Creativity is bursting out of me!

And, I got something today. Just because I am seeking God, doesn't mean my life is going to be all pearly white. It means, if I am seeking God and wanting to be a better person then I have to act like a better person. I know that sounds simple but I didn't get it until today. I thought if I could get this faith thing right then my life would be smooth and easy.

But the truth is for me to seek and find God, I have to be a bigger and better person.

Even with that knowledge, I was tested and I failed. The person that gives me the hardest time in this life started again. What did I do, well I shot back a nasty email.. He is wrong (and he is :)) so don't I have to tell him that don't I have to fix this. I want to scream when I think about what he is getting away with and he thinks he is in the right. Ahhhh

How do I behave like the big, good, shiny lit up person I want to be when I want to strike out and get even and control a situation because I'm afraid. HOW DO YOU DO THE RIGHT THING? WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING? Well I think I will sleep on that. I have figured out how to get out of my head. I focus on my heart and fill it with love. I am asking God tonight to fill me with love and light and healing and show me the way. And please bring some light to me, my daughter and her father.
