Postcards from Therapy: Do Not Dwell on the Past
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2015/02/do-not-dwell-on-past.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Do Not Dwell on the Past. If you read my last post, "Happy" New Year. You will know that I was crazily overwhelmed during the months of December and January, with Christmas preparations, children going berserk, the house catastrophe and subsequent remodel. God is good and He always brings good out of challenging situations. But that doesn't mean I can handle it all. More likely, I handled it incorrectly. In any case, by the end of January, I. Was. Fried. Verses 1, 5). My point...

Postcards from Therapy: February 2013
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 24, 2013. The other day's post, entitled, Another Breakdown. Received various responses. My point wasn't to make everyone feel sorry for me - I hope you know that! My Mom even called and said she was so worried about me. What I want everyone to know is that I face real and often painful challenges, but that I am continually finding courage in the Lord! And I also find encouragement from my friends in the Lord. Do you know what "encourage means? It simply means to impart courage. You know...

Postcards from Therapy: May 2013
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 24, 2013. Why Don't I Write More? Let me sum up:. Money is tight. We filed for bankruptcy and have our final hearing on June 3 - yeah! Now we have no credit (yeah? And no source of emergency money - boo! The good news is that Al is finally back in the driver's seat with the SOS stamp of approval, and with the additional help of a turn signal adaptor and spinner knob. Turns out it's illegal for me to use the knob, so I'll just have to drive my own car. Too bad, it looks like fun! I wrote this ...

Postcards from Therapy: March 2013
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 12, 2013. Hey, there, new and old blog friends:. I just wanted you to know that I will be taking a little break from my blog for a few weeks - probably until Easter. There's a lot going on in our family right now, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and stressed. Thanks for hangin' with me - I'll see you in a few weeks! Sunday, March 3, 2013. Why Didn't You TELL Me? Much of our experience of stroke rehabilitation is this: Expect the unexpected. Yes - a wife's dream come true! OK, so I though...

Postcards from Therapy: The Hardest Thing God Will Ever Ask You To Do
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-hardest-thing-god-will-ever-ask-you.html
Tuesday, October 14, 2014. The Hardest Thing God Will Ever Ask You To Do. Do you ever wonder what God will ask you to do if you really. Say yes to letting Him be the Lord of your life? I think I've held back all of my life because I'm afraid of what He'll tell me to do if I let go of all control. What if He asks me to do something really scary like going to a war-torn country to help fugitives escape? Or what if he asks me to approach a complete stranger to tell them about Jesus? But her husband asked he...

Postcards from Therapy: August 2013
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 5, 2013. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;. Persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. Before I got married, I knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home Mom. So, on my checklist for potential partners, that requirement was right near the top, along with finding a man who was a committed Christian and was willing to f...

Postcards from Therapy: Steadfast and Pure
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2015/02/steadfast-and-pure.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2015. If you're like me, you might get a little bored of the same Scriptures for Ash Wednesday and Lent, the ones we read year after year, like Psalm 51. Just reading that probably prompted the words to start scrolling through your brain: Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love;. According to your great compassion,. Me from my sin. I feel fairly confident that I could recite the entire psalm from memory. Let me clarify my earlier statement: At first glance,.

Postcards from Therapy: November 2013
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 22, 2013. Why, oh why can't I just be a full-time blogger? Life would be so much easier. I could get my cup of coffee in the morning, get the kids off to school, and sit down to write. I wouldn't even have to get out of my pajamas. Sigh* Such is not the case.yet. But, here is the good news from our family: Al got a job! Meanwhile, I'm still working 20 hours per week as the librarian at my children's school. It usually ends up feeling like 30 hours of work crammed into 20, trying to s...

Postcards from Therapy: "Happy" New Year!
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2015/02/happy-new-year.html
Thursday, February 5, 2015. Yes, I realize that it's February, so it seems a little late for a post about the New Year, but it's not my fault that time keeps traveling faster and faster as I get older! It's been far too long since I've posted here and I really want to become more faithful about posting. Because God is at work in my life, and I've always felt it would be selfish to keep His amazing work all to myself! With your house.” She proceeded to tell me that the upstairs toilet tank crack...Kitchen...

Postcards from Therapy: The Boundary Lines
http://postcardsfromtherapy.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-boundary-lines.html
Monday, October 13, 2014. I usually trust God with money and material things, too. I just know that He knows our needs and the money usually shows up when we need it. I'm not saying I'm perfect in my trust for this area, but even when I get myself to worrying about it, I'm usually soon reminded of all the ways that God has been faithful in the past. This past weekend, I went on a women's retreat, where I experienced a lot of grace to deal with this junk. Now, God is always. During a personal time of pray...
