Faith and doubt both are needed, not as antagonists, but working side by side to take us around the unknown curve.

So what have you been doing that you have been so busy with, you might ask!
Well, for almost 2 weeks I was in a real bad depression. So bad I didn't even want to go anywhere or do anything! Thankfully that has past and I am onto other things.
Of course we are still volunteering @ the clothes closet on Mondays.
I have also enrolled in a bible study on the book of Ruth. It is very time consuming to say the least. Study, study, study!
Our church also had a three day revival. I was at the church more than at home. However I truly enjoyed the speakers, music, and he was a real artist!
And I have been up late every night watching baseball! Ya know it's just something ya have to do!!! Baseball will only be on a few more weeks and the Phillie's are working it!
OO and I have been doing some fall cleaning. Closets etc. NO ONE do you hear me NO ONE is supposed to buy another outfit in this house for at least a year! We are only supposed to buy disposable stuff like groceries! see how long that stays in effect!
When I did one closet today I found 6 pump bottles of hand wash from 'Bed Bath & Beyond'. I actually have 3 large containers of dishwasher detergent! This is criminal I tell ya. Who needs 5 boxes of hair dye! and I am not even dying at present! I'm looking to see if it's too grey!

Go grey, be natural like Pie. I am thinking of doing the same. Spending too much money to end up with average looking hair.
I'm glad you ae fundug some thungs to di that you enjoy. I think most of us lose track of how much extra stuff we have around.
I love my grey hair, I earned all of it. I am glad you are keeping busy and rising out of our funk
I am glad you are not dying. I wish I could avoid dying as well. Taxes too.
I'm glad you are feeling better. I would love to have a little of your ambition. I have closets that need cleaning. Really, really need cleaning.
Thanks for stopping by my place Hope you have a beautiful week-end.
Sounds like you have a supply of soaps. As for dying the hair. I quite a long time ago. Seemed I could never get back in time to have it taken care of so it would go from a nice warm brown to a copper reddish look, not good, and I was getting perms every 3 months. I gave them both up. The last time, I told the one beautician to frost my hair, everyone thought it looked great, and as my own grew in, no one seemed to notice. Now that I am no longer working, and keep it pretty short, I don't care what color it is. As long as I don't have to mess with it. I'm not handy with the hair.
Oh, I LOVE the book of Ruth!!!! It is so hope-inspiring to see how God drew a gentile to himself, even before Christ. The Lord is mighty to save. One of the characteristics that is so amiable about this Ruth, is that she is a hero without superpowers (so to speak). Her big thing was a simple faith, and that is something that makes her feel more approachable than say a King David, Abraham or Elijah.
I am sorry about the depression, as a sufferer myself, I can empathize. Next time you feel blue, let me know, we can be blue together (I find when with someone else, I can't be very blue) and you can help me learn to be a good wife!
I like the quote. Glad you are feeling better. Sometimes I need to focus on small steps to get myself moving.
Sorry to hear that you have been battling depression.. It is understandable though and I get that way myself at times. I am happy that you are pulling yourself out of it. That takes a lot of strength and you are a strong person. Hang in there.. hugs.. Michelle
I've been gray for years and once about 10 years ago I decided to dye my hair. It was so horrible looking! Now I don't give a ding because I know I look old anyway. lol.
love the quote. i'm a big believer that faith and doubt are constant companions.
so sorry you were depressed. i know how that is, and it's not fun! but i'm glad to hear you're pulling out of it.
i don't think i've ever read the book of Ruth, actually, but i've always liked the story of Ruth and Naomi; sisters doin' it for themselves!
