Writing Prompt: I know for sure that...

I know for sure that. . . .

… my cup runneth over. I have a lot on my plate. I am swamped. I guess there’s only so many ways to say it… I’m a very busy woman at this time in my life. I would love to have time to write to more of these prompts, to write in reply to all on this list, to read all that others write to each other… but I don’t have the luxury of that much time. Most nights I don’t get to bed until 2am or later, despite all my good intentions. I am supposed to be weaving things for Christmas gifts, but haven’t touched my loom in days as I’ve been so tied up with things for my church, the course I’m taking, and other commitments in my life. Sometimes I just can’t function due to being tired, due mostly to Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue and other irritating failures and breakdowns of my once trusty, active body. I am too young for this, but this is my life now… so being so tired I often have to take the time for napping when I should be doing other things, like weaving.

And yet, I know for sure that … I am happy. I am happy to be busy doing the several volunteer jobs I do for my church because it makes me feel productive, it makes me feel needed, and it makes me feel valuable. Several of the people at my church also make me feel valued and loved, things I needed in my life. The course I’m taking, through my Spiritual Centre is changing my life for the better as are all my other commitments there. I am a member of the Board of Trustees… big, responsible position… wow, only adults do this kind of thing. I am the person that makes up the Sunday Programs, from designing them on the computer each week to printing them out and assembling them, along with any song sheets etc that are needed, into folders. I do other computer work as well, like sign up sheets for various classes, workshops, volunteer jobs available, etc etc. This is all good as I like doing these kind of things and am quick to jump up and run to the computer whenever someone says we need another kind of form made up or letter written. I also am the song leader, getting together with the pianist once each week to rehearse, then leading the congregation in 3 songs each Sunday. I also fairly often sing a solo as part of the “Special Music” portion of the service. I am totally thrilled with this. Our pianist and I have such fun at rehearsals, and I love to get up and do this singing on Sundays. All my life I was told by my siblings that I should sing solo… so low no one could hear me. I was told I was “tone deaf” and I “couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket”… and yet, at the Okanagan Centre For Positive Living I am not only told that I can sing, but that I am good at it. Last Sunday “Hannah Piana” and I did a duet. We had so much fun practicing this and fun performing it too. It is called “Special Friends”. Hannah played the piano and sang one set of words while I sang another set, then at the end we both sing the same words and harmonized. It felt awesome and I think the congregation liked it too, judging by the amount of applause we got. I love “stardom”, lol. So as busy as I am and as much as I would like some “extra” time to sit at my loom and weave, I wouldn’t give up any of the other stuff I’m doing just now… it’s just all too good. I just have to find a way to organize my time better so I can fit it all in.

I know for sure that… God is the unfailing source of my supply.

I know for sure that… I am one with God.

I know that my life is better now than ever before… and I am grateful!

Namaste`my friends.
