Luma's Layers

I remember my husband telling me how someone once told him, "no matter where you go, there you are." Did you read that correctly? No matter where you go, there you are.  You Can Run, AND You Can Hide. You know the saying about running and being unable to hide...I actually believe that you have the ability to hide. Not only can you run away and hide very good, but you can hide for very long. Let's take this and put in into perspective when it comes to your life. I came from a place we will just name "Gloom-hamton"...that's right--GLOOM. I felt like this almost every other day, and if not every other day, AT LEAST once a week. Not to say it was a horrible place, although I have made it sound like it, I just felt that way living there. I said to myself, only if I could just escape this place then my life would be so much better.

Have you ever spent time, and I mean not a couple of minutes, not a half hour, but like HOURS just sitting in one place stuck in your thoughts. You've gotten to what seems like the high place and all of a sudden you find yourself questioning your feelings. The more you "rest" the worse you feel. Yeah, me too . It's funny how much control we give our fleshly minds to wander into the darkness. I have my faith and have built a relationship with God, but that doesn't exclude me from imperfections and having bad days. I still have found myself allowing nonsense emotions steal a whole day out of my life. Sometimes it has even been as far as multiple days or even months. The nonsense emotions turn into guilt and guilt turns into a whole pile of other lies. Before I know it, I have dug a ditch and laid myself in it.  Looking For My Way Out. I don't have to spend too much time in the "ditch" before I realize that I am in one. I forget how much time
