Feeling Frustrated

So…I’ve been trying to work on setting up this website/blog since April to document my recovery in an effort to help others as well.  I have purchased a book, tried to read the book, watched youtube videos, etc. and it still seems like Greek to me.

I thought I was making a little progress today until I hit the wrong button and messed it all up. Now I’m trying to fix it, but I can’t remember how I did it in the first place even with the notes I’ve been taking. Ugh!

Right now I am just so frustrated and feel like crying because no matter how hard I try I just am not comprehending what to do to get what I want to be done.   In the sense of being honest (I forgot how the saying goes),  my mind is telling me that I should know how to do this, but my brain isn’t getting it!!!!

As with brain injuries when my brain gets too taxed or stressed,  my brain begins to feel foggy and my eyes seem to get blurry.  It then goes into shut down mode.

This is actually one of the many symptoms a person with a brain injury encounters.  Learning new things is rather quite difficult because it requires attention, concentration, and memory.  When your brain is injured, it has trouble with the memory process which causes difficulties.   It doesn’t mean that I’m not ever going to get this…it just means it will take much longer to progress.

Time to take a much-needed break and try again later.  Praying for the Lord’s wisdom in setting up the website/blog.

Better or Bitter?

August 22, 2018

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”  Philippians 1:6

We will incur many adversities in our lives.  How we choose to approach them will affect our outcome.  Will you choose to be better and allow the trial you are currently enduring to make you stronger becoming the victor through Christ’s help?  OR will you choose to become bitter and allow yourself to fail and become the victim?

Though I fail at times, I would like to think that I try to press on to the victory – looking for the lesson I might learn that I may grow in Christ and in turn be able to help others do the same.  Sometimes pain is the very thing that God can use to help you help show the love of Christ to others in only a way that you can.

“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 3:14

“When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off.  You sit and trust the engineer.” – Corrie ten Boom, Holocaust survivor.
