Rediscovering fiction. A part of my challenge is ME! My mind obsesses about situations; what created the problem, what could I have done, what should I do now to solve the problem? Typically I work it through, promise myself that I will let it go………and bang!…it’s back. Time and again, I remind myself of my faith, the Lord is truly in control, and I must leave circumstances out of my control to God’s great plan.

I have made a new discovery………….a very old solution. Call it diversion, avoidance, mental blocking, or….? Fiction. Good fiction. Not everyone describes “good” in the same manner. I have found that reading in my spare moments (read that as when I am in bed and ready to go to sleep) has relieved my mind. I am less stressed–focusing on the day. I am choosing easy-read Christian fiction. I have read all of Diane Moody’s books now–great fun! Reading has always been important to me–but this is a new adventure with FICTION.
