Whirring and spinning, all afternoon.
Like little dust-devils wanting to push me along.
The self-destructive thoughts.
The worries.
The stress.
The fears.
Whirring and spinning about my head.
Whirring and spinning, all afternoon.
Like tornadoes trying to take me away.
"Why doesn't this dress look good on me?"
"How is this going to work?"
"When are we going to get ahead?"
"What will I do without my friends?"
Whirring and spinning about my head.
Whirring and spinning, all afternoon.
Like a hurricane fighting to destroy me.
"You'll never be that size again."
"You'll never have enough money."
"You'll never make close friends."
"You don't have enough faith."
Whirring and spinning about my head.
Whirring.
Spinning.
Consuming.
Breaking.
Destroying.
Until,
GET THEE HENCE!!!!!!!!
GET THEE HENCE!!!!!!!!
Silence.
Peace.
Stillness.
No more whirring
No more spinning.
No more doubts.
Only trust.
Only faith, from here on out.

Glad you got rid of them!
I rarely comment (I know how much you love that)! But, I'm a pro at whirring and spinning:) Usually things turn out better than we can imagine. The Lord know us so much better than we know ourselves and blesses us beyond our own "predictions" and "fortune telling." YOU make your own happiness, you attract people to you by just being in a room, you are moving forward with a great husband by your side, you have nowhere to go but UP! I know you didn't need a pep talk from me, I'm glad you found peace. Love you friend:)
I think we're on the same wavelength. I have been caught up in that cycle for the last month. So stressed out. So unsure of it all. So absorbed by it. Thanks for this post. I think I need to do a little more 'get thee hence-ing'!
You pinned it down perfectly! I too, am a whirring, spinning kind of girl. It takes forcing that spirit away for the peace and calmness to take over.
And remembering President Hinckley's words - Dont worry, things will work out.
You're a poet and I didn't even know it!
I love it!
Love this. So important to recognize where all that noise comes from.
Wow, did you write that? Holy cow, you are amazing!!!
I LOVED it!
I totally had this devil on my shoulder yesterday. It went down bad. The upside? Today was another day, and was gentler, with more grace and be-ing.
Trust, faith, two tickets that I try to hold and keep holding despite it all...
PS: Thanks for your sweet blog comment the other day! it made me smile.
i definitely can relate! GET thee hence! I loved this, you have talent! TRUST AND FAITH!
I have been thinking about you, even though I have been too absentminded to do anything about it. I have noticed you have been a bit stressed and cryptic on your facebook page. I'm sorry things have been stressful lately, and I'm sorry for whatever is going on that is causing it. I'm really excited for you about the fridge and dishwasher though! I hope things are starting to look up for you. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
Great way to put it. Sometimes the frustrations are overwhelming.
Way to kick em' to the curb!
Get thee hence is hard to remember sometimes. Great post! Very nice writing.
I missed this one the first time around. Such a great reminder that faith and doubt cannot coexist.
