I'm back!

Ok - so the short, non-chalant phrase "It makes me miss y'all more than normal" from my last post really translated into "I'm backsliding into severe homesickness and can't quit crying all the time." So, I had to take a break albeit brief from reading too much blogging as I was addicted and I think added to my virtual mental life in Marietta.

I have been talking with a particular friend down here about praying together since Thanksgiving. She is a 'stay-at-home but I really work from home' Mom too so we are on the same wavelength. I finally just called and said "We have got to pray, I'm dying in a pile!!" We met 2 days later and it was awesome. Now we are meeting with one other girl every Thursday morning to walk the beach for 30 minutes and then pray on the beach together. Are you serious that this is my life and I can't get my ish together?

Totally unrelated to anything, she started telling me a story about her marriage and how a friend had reminded her that God can do instant healing. He did it all the time in the Bible - sometimes it's a slow, road but sometimes it is immediately. The paralytic, the blind man, the storm....I actually went through the Gospels this week and underlined that word immediately.

My prayer time with her seemed to jump start a great week of spending time with Jesus, exercising and eating right again, wanting to be with people and invest in new friends. I went to a community-wide 'Beloved' event Friday and Saturday. I feel great. Instead of chalking it up to another little 'high', I want to believe God is immediately healing my emotional and mental state - those severe mood swings - those cyclical mood swings that I can't seem to shake after having babies. I am believing God can heal in an instant. Will you believe that with me??!!

Sorry, this isn't so funny. Just keepin' it real. Love to hear your comments and your blogs. Y'all are the best -- even from 5 hours away.
