Mine is not really inner. It's outer ...especially when my boyfriend has his desk piled high with Stufffsss. I mean, coinspensrubberbandsenvelopes<BR/>chargersbatteriesetcetcetc..<BR/>Anyway. I find my ICF is less of a problem when I'm generally happy and not stressed. It seems to emerge with anxiety. So. If God makes you happy, I'm sure that He will help with the ICF. Which is awesome!Emma Gorst https://www.blogger.com/profile/09692637018538270794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-23540160454189366642009-01-26T11:50:00.000-05:002009-01-26T11:50:00.000-05:00Ron: Why didn't I think of that?Karen: I hope yo...Ron: Why didn't I think of that?<BR/><BR/>Karen: I hope your weekend was restful. No more dancing! Time to get better and stay that way.<BR/><BR/>LL Cool Joe: God's plans have always worked out to be better than mine. Apparently I need to re-learn that lesson a million times before I get it, but I think I got a little closer this week.<BR/><BR/>Christopher: Thank you for those inspiring 80's lyrics. <BR/><BR/>Scarlet: True - it's not so much about letting go of control, but about admitting that we never had it in the first place.<BR/><BR/>Syb: Could we do a brain exchange? Not entire - a couple of ounces of yours for a couple of ounces of mine. Then we'd be balanced.Sparkling Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12799366562472325812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-60889177560844031652009-01-25T09:09:00.000-05:002009-01-25T09:09:00.000-05:00i wanna learn how to be an overachiever..

We get more from God than we can ever create for ourselves, so I'm learning to put my will aside and let His will be done. Not easy...but it's the only thing that works.<BR/><BR/>Good luck...I know exactly what you're going through.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17560614073319109150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-81598005099703252672009-01-23T10:30:00.000-05:002009-01-23T10:30:00.000-05:00Relax...

But if the someone else is God, then it's a great thing to do. God has a plan for everyone of our lives, but sometimes we are too busy trying to do things our own way to notice what that is. Letting go isn't easy, but if you do I'm sure you'll find God's plan for your life is probably better than yours!LL Cool Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916666100971008775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620546355443994788.post-82560322623518794932009-01-22T22:47:00.000-05:002009-01-22T22:47:00.000-05:00I know the dance of recovery.
