R.A.D.I.C.A.L. Thoughts

"No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it."
Grace Slick

Yes, that's true, but I didn't want to this morning. AT 10:20 I'm flying to California to speak at a Conference at Pepperdine University. I still have odds and ends to gather up and bed felt so good this morning. I got to bed later than I wanted and I had fitful dreams all night that I'm positive meant I'm unprepared and disorganized and my life is on the edge of out of control. But I forced my feet to the floor, and I just finished some strawberries and "straw" and I'm gaining momentum. For one thing I have something important to do. I have important things to say about surviving divorce. I know from experience what divorce feels like and I want to share some insights with people who either want help or want to help. It's having something worthwhile to do that gets me out of bed in the morning. When I was first divorced and the kids all on their way to independence and no husband to take care of, I thought, "What do I have to do that has any real significance?" I've discovered that the work God has prepared me to do now is incredibly exciting and fulfilling. I thought my life was over after my divorce, but in reality, this new stage has the potential to give me avenues of expression unlike anything I've done before. God has a plan for each one of us. You, too. So get up, eat some straw and start finding out what your new life has in store!
P.S. Happy May Day! Buy yourself and someone else some flowers!

"The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing!... Get out of bed and get dressed! Don't loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ and be up and about!"
Romans 13:12-14 (The Message)
