11 07 2007
Chapter 4
1.Stress is defined as a mentally or emotionally disruptive condition occurring in response to adverse external influences. It is capable of affecting physical health,usually characterized by increased heart rate, a rise in blood pressure,muscular tension,irritability,and depression. What words would you use to describe you emotions when you are under stress? I fell overwhelmed which leads to depression. Frustration is another emotion that seeps in. Lately, though,I have been feeling that maybe just maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I also feel helpless when things get too hard to handle.
2.You won’t find “stress” in your Bible concordances, but some verses of Scripture give apt descriptions of the emotions that are rolling within a stressed-out woman’s heart. What kind of of situations bring on these feeling in you day? Last Thursday the breaker to the hot water tank here in the building had gone out and they spent all day fixing it, well I also hadn’t had my Zoloft for the last three days so I was coping with the whole situation very well.
Chapter 5
1. Would you say you are really living, or just surviving life? What’s the difference between the two? In my case I am just surviving life. Living life would be for me to be able to get out and really do the things I want to do. Instead I am at a point where I am trying to figure out how to have enough to live on from day to day.
2. Are you satisfied with your life, or do you find yourself longing for something quieter,less frenzied? I have introverted tendencies so I have to push myself to get out and get involved when and where I and as I am able to.
3. What has God used to catch your attention lately? I think He has been using my son*W*. I have started a new project and it has been really intense to learn. SO my son has been doing both good and bad things to gain my attention. Kind of like “Hey don’t forget about me.”
