"Considerably rumpled in spirit. . . "

I like Anne. . . she reminds me of someone. . .

Been a little introspective today, and I couldn't help but think of Anne Shirley and her famous quote.

I've been "considerably rumpled in spirit lately" and a bit out of sorts. Granted, I've pretty much felt like I've had the flu since, oh, January. . .

This morning, I woke up, once again, sick as all getout. And I got frustrated. And mad. And grumpy. (seems like a tendency lately). Thankfully, I have the Lord and his wonderful still small voice. Aren't you thankful for that wonderful, still small voice? I was challenged by that voice to ask myself WHY I'm rumpled in spirit.

God has given me health challenges. I have the decision on how I react. Lately, not so good. I couldn't help but think. . . If you and I ate junk food all the time, what would happen to us? We wouldn't be terribly healthy would we? Yet, in this world, it's TERRIBLY easy to consist on junk food. Think about it, between iphones, laptops, internet and tv, we have a constant diet of junk food. (metaphorically speaking of course)

I know when I'm not feeling well, it's much easier to hit the "on" button on my TV than to open my Bible or listen to a sermon. Then I probably shouldn't be surprised when I become "rumpled in spirit."

I can't consist on junk food and be healthy. So today, I'm challenging myself to a new diet. (if any of my friends reads this, you are more than welcome to check on me!)
