So, I've been going through some really hard times at work lately. I won't bore you with the details, but I've never felt so stressed and on the brink of snapping as I have been this past month. Life just hasn't seemed as rosy and I've been trying to put on a happy face, but I'm exhausted. I want to give up and sit on my couch and do nothing. I've had no energy to do things and haven't even really wanted to hang out with my wonderful friends lately. I haven't really told them what I'm going through, so friends, if you're hearing this for the first time, I'm sorry. I just haven't wanted to talk about it, but I realize that bottling it up isn't doing me any good and I need to ask for prayer to get through this time (and for patience in my lack of blogging).
My sister sent me an email today and she's been going through some stuff as well ... decisions to make and being in God's will, and she sent me this You*Tube clip of Wynonna singing I Can Only Imagine. I've heard the song a million times and it always bring a tear (or 2 or 3 or 4) to my eye, but it's such a great reminder that life on earth is temporal, but life in Heaven is eternal. I need to remember that my job does not define me or consume me. It is just something I need to do my best at until God calls me Home and I can fall on my knees in awe of Him.

Thanks for sharing this, Fiona. I love this song. There's a Job quote that comes to mind, "I know that my redeemer lives and in the end he will stand upon the earth. And even though my skin is destroyed, in my flesh I will see God. Oh how my heart yearns within me!" (Job 19, perhaps?)
Hope you come on some better days. . .
Beautiful song ... thanks for posting. Isn't it funny how we don't like to share when we're feeling like things aren't going as well as we'd want and yet, we can't help each other through anything if we don't communicate it. It comes back to that whole thing about imagining everything's perfect in someone else's life when we really have no idea. I love the message in the song ... definitely a few tears there ... and I love that she shared her faith so openly.
Well said, Fiona. I'll definitely be keeping you in my prayers.
Thinking about you friend. Praying that this will be a time that God reveals more of himself and His plans for you.
Miss you and love you.

Fiona, I'll be thinking of you. I so agree with what Nancy said. and everyone else for that matter.
hugs, and prayers . . .
Love you my Friend! Continued prayers for you!
I can relate. I will pray that God gives you direction as you wait on Him.
Sending E-hugs your way...
I prayed for you this week, and a verse came to me while driving and I didn't write it down but thought of you. Today this one was in my inbox when I woke up and I thought maybe it could offer you encouragement.
"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9
P.S... love that song and have never heard Wynonna sing it, fab!
