It's a journal. It's a devotional. It's a record of a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) survivor. It's documentation of God's activities in real time. There are good days and bad, happy times and sad... I tell it like it is. This is an unscripted walk along the meandering paths of my mind. My life has never been dull... and I've never known boredom. Read on, you'll see...

I am a happily married mother and grandmother of a large family. I've also had several careers including writer, teacher, trucker, investment and finance advisor, web master and artist. I am an ordained minister (not to the pulpit) and consider my calling to Christ's service my most important role in life.

Forced Leisure

I did little today. Just sitting around waiting to get stronger and be back in the flow of things. I read, I spent a lot of time in the Word and also enjoyed a novel about a girl who can fly... don't ask. A good diversion and the plot actually worked.

My friend Carol from Alabama called and we had a good visit. She has one of those voices I can hear well on the phone. It is lower, or deeper than many women, so I don't have to struggle to figure out what she's saying. Seems like I've known her all my life, but it really has only been a bit over ten years. There are a few people in my life who are soul mates... Carol is one of them. I could tell her anything, and like Jesus, she would love me anyway.

So tonight, after doing almost nothing all day long, I am tired. Sitting around is hard work after all. I thought I was more healed than I am, and I find I am weak and still have not much pep. So, since God has me idling instead of revving my motor, I shall be still and try to hear what He may have in mind for these days of forced leisure.
