Have you ever just spent a day, or night, sitting staring into space with your mind running so fast you could hardly hear yourself think?
I do this almost daily! I am always daydreaming, thinking of something else while I am somewhere else, and I don't even think about sleep anymore....
I have often tried to "turn my mind off" and it doesn't work. Sometimes, I think about so much I loose track of where I am or what I am doing. I would loose track of where I was going, but I never have that anyway. LOL I get headaches trying to figure it all out.
I write things in a journal, that helps alot. Excpet when I sit down to read it and then say to myself "What in the world was I think'n". A lot of my thoughts turn to what I am doing at that point in my life and where I want to be. I am sure that a lot of you can relate to this. We all want something more out of life or maybe even something better. I don't sit around and "wish" for things, nothing like that. I am very happy with who I am and where I am. But, I'd be lieing if I didnt' admit that I strive to find something that would make my life a little easier. Especially for my daughters. I hate that they have to struggle so much from day to day.
Anyway, I want to get to the point here before my fingers start listening to the other voices in my head and I forget where I was going with all this...
It hit me the other day; while I am spending this time thinking of new ways to "make my life easier", "sort through my problems", etc...Am I noticing anything around me? If I am missing things around me because I am so concerned with the thoughts (and voices) in my head, then what am I missing?! I could be missing out on the chance that God is giving me to actually answer some of those questions in my head! I am listening to my own self ( and many other voices) instead of shuting up and listening to my Creator!
SO.....just a small shout out to ya....
Shut Up - Listen - and be ready for the answers!!!
