I Called Myself Scatterbrained...

At our Threads of Hope meeting, I found myself wanting to share so MANY things and my mouth couldn't keep up with my thoughts so apologized and then labeling myself as 'scatterbrained' was what came out of my mouth.

As I think about it, I have SO MANY thoughts floating around in my head, that unless I speak or journal, or put it on a to do list or calendar, or write a blog post, or send an e-mail or text, or make a phone call, or take time to pray for someone or a situation, or speak to someone in person those thoughts will continue to expand and multiply until I seek out my tablet to play my Candy Crush Soda.  I admit that playing a game on the computer is a only a temporary fix.

I've been known to be a notorious and long time procrastinator :( and wore that label with shame.  Gratefully, I am learning how to prioritize, eliminate the unnecessary and get things done.

I realize that the formulation of my thoughts into a cohesive, makes-sense-to-me paragraph or phrase is necessary for my mental/emotional/spiritual self and provides a landing/resting/safe place for these thoughts.  Seeing blogging as journaling, documenting on the web:releasing and sharing these thoughts in the event that others might identify with themselves.  Love the concept of brain dumping with regard to journaling--getting it all out there, not worrying about how it looks or if someone will read it--it's for me!

Documenting my Journey with God is now my priority and no longer a separate part of everything that I am and do.  God is my Creator, my Heavenly Father, my Maestro, my Comforter, my Maker, my Coach, my Boss, my Choreographer, my Mentor, my Teacher, the Author and Essense of my life.

This is one of the first photos I have put scripture to.  It was taken in Hilo after a long time friend's funeral.  Had my Canon Rebel and walked around the yard and took pictures of flowers in their yard.  This was one of his favorite scriptures and made cards for his wife.

His Word made real.
