Liz's Letters

There was a time that I thought my life was as good as it got. That was about 10 years ago. Then a time came along that I thought my life was as bad as it got. That wasn't really that long ago. But it feels like a life time...WAIT! It is exactly that... MY life - time. And good or bad, it is just what it is And just what it is supposed to be. I like that and it's okay. Right now, I feel like my life is better than it has EVER been. Yep, tops 10 years ago, that's for sure. My marriage is better, my kids are healthy, happy, and lovable, my friendships are healthier and my walk with God closer. And even if I wake up tomorrow and all that is different, I know that it is how it is supposed to be. And I know I will be okay. God has proven that to me over and over again. He has brought me through, shown me how He works, how He heals, how He takes away, and how He blesses 10 fold! How awesome is He? The Most Awesome! Loving life!

Has anyone ever said to you, "I am just not myself."? I have had someone say that to me recently, in fact, the same person has said this to me several times over the past couple of years. There was a woman who I worked with some time ago and she would use the phrase, "My world is just not lining up today." Another friend of mine and I were discussing how we feel when we don't feel like ourselves and realized that we are very much alike in that we almost always feel like ourselves, but occasionally there are days where we are simply a little down, things are not quite right, there is just something that has effected the way we "usually" feel. It would be alarming to myself and also to this friend of mine to feel "not myself" for more than a day or two. So, as is usual to myself when something catches my attention like this, I have pondered it, tossed it around in my head and my heart, even thinking about what God thinks about us not being ours...
