One moment you are feeling optimistic, the sun is shining on your face and you are reading a book. The next moment, some little thing has entered your mind and made itself comfortable in the most uncertain and insecure parts of yourself. You just put a tape on loop that makes Jesus want to drink gin straight from the cat dish.
I don't have an explanation for why this happens but I know that I have been forced to find solutions for it. I know for me, that church on Sunday helps. I know that being outside helps. I know that writing down all the evidence that things are going to be ok helps. I know that loving on others helps.
I know that crawling into a hole and accepting the nasty little thoughts as tenants is not an option.
I'm going to grab a cat dish and join Jesus in a quick drink, then we need to get our butts up and go find the good.
Profoundly true. Thank you, my darling girl.
