Lord Help Me!

Folks, I am feeling stressed and overwhelmed right now. My ordination is coming up, I'm writing articles for a soon-to-be-published national magazine, I'm trapped in a dusty construction site for training on my new job until January, I'm taking a 3rd go-round dating this guy (I sometimes wonder why?!?), and folks in the church are frankly getting on my last nerve! A wise pastor said to me that I should remember the 'Serenity Prayer'.

THE SERENITY PRAYER

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can;and wisdom to know the difference.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr

WTF!

My life is moving so quickly right now that I wish I could get off the moving sidewalk and slow down the pace! I'm still in training on this cray a$$ job, working with crazy a$$ people who are denigrating by the moment.

We're currently working in a construction environment surrounded on two sides by plastic tarps from floor to ceiling, no windows and drywall dust everywhere (including in my lungs!!!!!!~!!!!). Meanwhile, I've got jacka$$ twenty-somethings who think they know every damn thing bitching and whining about nonsense.

In my 'other' life I'm dating my ex which I'm still uncertain about and the whole scenario makes me wonder if I've lost it!

In addition, it's exactly one month before my ordination and I realize that this is all just a test.

peace....
stay strong!

Men Require A Lot of Work...

Whoever said that it takes a lot of work to build and maintain a healthy relationship never lied! I wonder if I have what it takes to make this work? I'm a very eccentric and unique person and it's going to take someone really unique to get me. Keep me in your prayers.

What Should I Do?

Now my ex wants to see me again and oddly enough I want to see him too! WTF?!?! Am I a glutton for punishment or what? He claims he has evolved over the last year and is a better/different person. We'll see, I'm still nervous about the whole thing. This would be the third time he and I have tried this ish! Damn, I don't even know what the heck is going on. Keep me in your prayers and I will keep you updated as to what happens. I do know that I am going to take it one day at a time.

peace,

Strong
