This week has been tough for some reason. I just feel like I’m stuck in a weird funk that I can’t seem to shake. It’s hard to get inspired to do anything positive right now. I think I started this week off on a bad foot because I’ve been complaining about the beach all week a long with a hand full of other things. Sometimes I let things get on my nerves that shouldn’t. Like teenagers are awkward and don’t always think before they speak, I know it sounds like a lot of us, but it’s a whole other level:) It’s hard to answer “Hey are you albino or Hey is that your natural hair color?!” so many times without being a jerk. I even got tone advice from a kid last night, he had to let me know that my guitar gave feedback and that he didn’t think it sounded good. I’m glad he told me since I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing, I would have never known if he hadn’t pointed it out to me:) Sorry for the sarcasm.
God’s really using this summer to teach me about becoming more secure in myself and showing grace. It’s freaking tough though. I just have to remember, I was awkward once and still put my foot in my mouth quite often, I’ve just learned to do it with style now:)
Anyone else ever get hit with their insecurities like that?
I know what you mean, sometimes a kid will say something that actually pisses me off and I start to think, “I’m going to push you down right now, because I’m bigger than you”. Twerp…
Course then I would feel like a total jerk…

You’re albino? Seriously?
You rock Jimmie, you are so not alone, I almost DAILY stick my foot in my mouth AND (yes, that was an AND) get frustrated where I might not need to get frustrated…did I mention I have 4 kids and sadly enough, they drive me CRAZY sometimes.

I thought that was just an awesome dye job on the hair man!
But seriously, it’s tough when you get in to that rutt and can’t seem to shake it you know? But that is why God places the people in your life that he does. I mean you have a group of awesome dudes that you get to make music with and who can help ou out with stuff. And something that helps me wen i get in a rutt is to fast… even if only for a day.
It’s also my understanding that Ivey has been in a mood as well. That can’t help things move along I’m sure.
