My Little Drummer Boys: Fine on the surface

Sunday, 4 March 2012

Fine on the surface

Lately, I have felt very overwhelmed, my presence of mind feels crushed by the significance of so many unrelated things.
Despair over things I can't change.
Brokenness.
Someone, I love hurting with a dire diagnosis , that strikes so close to me; they are shattered.
Inability to stay on task and complete pressing to do's.

Some things are a mystery to me.

Grief over the fear of losing touch in special friendships is crushing .
I don't think they realise though, or maybe care .
Maybe they are just too busy with life and I should get over it.
I am just sad about it.

My faith in God , the knowledge that He cares for me and holds together the pieces of my brokenness, keeps me afloat.

An afternoon browsing Pinterest is also food for the soul and brings nothing but a smile.

I really feel for you Trish and understand how you feel. It's a hard place to be in when you are over whelmed by difficult circumstances. I often wonder how people cope without God in their lives... I know that with my own circumstances & heartbreaks along the journey of life, it is God who has sustained me all the way.
These links are excellent ones! I also love "Footprints". Thinking of you and praying for comfort and clarity of mind.
God Bless

The way you describe the friendship gone astray sounds exactly the same as the way my best friend described our friendship to me. And then she decided to not save it. So if you want that friendship chase it, or perhaps assess how you are in her life and wonder if you may have done anything wrong. My friend may think I was oblivious to her, but I was trying to avoid her! She always made me feel guilty for not being the same person as her, and when we were in a group, she would always be the diva and take over the room. That's why I stopped going places with her or inviting her anywhere. Allow your friend to give her side of the story. Just be prepared to hear that you might be driving her crazy! You might not be too, it's just a thought. For now, love the people who want to be loved, and fill your heart to overflowing. xx

I hear you about being fine on the surface. Sometimes though there are some things that we have no control over. And this when we cope in the best way we can. xx

These times when things converge are so tough - it really takes it out of you. I really feel for you and wish I could help more. Just know that I'm thinking of you and if you need to talk any time, you know where I am.

The pictures you put up are amazing.

Trish, I felt very much like you describe for month after we moved. It takes time to adjust. Sorry to hear that you're going through a tough time - keeping clinging to God as He is the only thing that won't change. Praying that your loved one's diagnosis turns out to have a good treatment plan that will give all involved some hope.

I understand. I hear you. You need to know I think of you a lot. The farm is a place where you have gone as part of Hub's dream, and have a rural life for the boys. I am pretty sure that you are missing the ease of access to Sydney bits and more ....and I have lived that isolation, so please always know an email to me, a rant, a vent is welcomed....anything to help a lovely dear friend...who is silently suffering, and whose worry levels are almost of Warragamba levels....full.
glad that I saw you recently (never enough time tho!) and also that pinterest is helping ....Love Denyse
PS you have my mobile number...use it anytime XX

Thanks Denyse , it is a lot of things happening all at once and probably worrying too much about things and over analysing. I appreciate your kindness xo.

Its funny how we all say "No worries, I'm all right" when inside sometimes we are not. I so feel what you are saying - be kind and take the time to let it be what it is. They saying moving is almost as stressful as a death in the family...take the time out of the day to do something for yourself - even if its giving yourself five minutes of doing nothing.
Sometimes its best to let it all out - scream, or cry if you need to !! I think us Mums think we can do it all, and then wonder why we feel like we should be able to, and yet sometimes we need to take a step back - I am slowly learning that I need to do that ...taking time out and asking for help!

Take care xxx

It's important to remember that you are not alone. All over this big world, others have similar circumstances, similar feelings, are coping and getting through as best as they can, just like you are. It helps to talk things through like this, with friends who "get it" . I wish you well.
