Same issues… and Christian breath mints?

I had a rough night tonight and called my mom in tears.  My mom suggested in her always lovingly way that I journal my thoughts… because she knows that it is a good way for me to connect with God and connect with what I am feeling.

So, I did.  I wrote about all my feelings, fears, and frustrations.  After I got all my feelings out, I decided to read back to some of my previous writings.  I was a bit shocked to find the SAME themes throughout the years.  I am saying, two years ago I was writing the SAME THINGS!!!!  Same frustrations, same fears (that have now become reality), same same same!  It is a bit annoying.   

On a different note, Justin is listening to cheesy Christian music right now which totally distracted me from what I was writing.  I have always hated (with a passion) cheesy Christian music.  Actually, most Christian music just bugs.  Come to think of it, I only really like Keith Green and….I can’t think of anyone else right now.  My mom (as much as I love the woman) is the one who got me hating on Christian music…and Christian bookstores.  Ew ew ew.  I think I overdosed on it all as a sixth grader, never to fully recover.  It is a good thing we don’t live in the states so I don’t have to go to Christian bookstores with Justin.  Who needs them anyways?  I mean, how many Bibles does one person need!?!?!   And what is up with breath mints that are Christian?  Let’s be real about this people. 

Well, I would love to stay and give you more random thoughts from Jen Powell….but I need to get to bed.

    Ah, but Jen. You could at least go and buy one of MY books there! 🙂

    I’m sure (tongue in cheek) those books would deliver you from your recurring problems!

    BTW, now I’m all curious! What are those recurring problems?

    Oh Erin…I know sister…I know. I totally had the one with all the fish on it that says something like, “go against the flow.” I thought i was so cool!

    Mary, it is true that I DO like to look ONCE IN A WHILE at the novels and that just depends on the author, but I must say, you are one author I would definitely look at!!! Yeah Mary DeMuth! LOVE YA!!!

    your’e funny. I feel that way about books: such as the “chicken soup for the soul” and the five love languages. The first ones were great. but really do we need to continue it for every little thing?
