Tami, I’m having fun going back through blog posts I’ve missed (really MISSED) and I come across this little ditty which gives me a glimpse into your “hard drive”? It looks like it has spoken to others on many levels, but it’s hitting me at the “who do I do what I do, for? Or to more properly position the preposition, for whom do I do what I do do? I know, I said do do. It’s been my age long struggle to work as unto the Lord, and not as unto my parents, my kids, my spouse,(s) my boss, my mother-in-law(s!), my fill-in-the-blank. They are not the boss of me, they are not the boss of me, they are not the boss of me. I’ll get it right–if it’s the last thing I do do! xo~Deb

Love it, thanks for sharing Tami! Especially like the gently humorous intro on “grieving the long goodbye” to a preposition. You hooked me w/ that and that proceeded to paint me a picture of my life. Clever and quite lovely.

Great post, “Cool Name Girl”! I sometimes think that I struggle with even ADMITTING I want control! I try to justify it by saying, “That’s what I DO…I FIX people, I take away their pain, I teach them how to function in the stages of their healing!” Well, okay, so I DO that as a physical therapist. But, finding I really can’t DO that in or FOR my community…learning to do all of this healing stuff WITH my community! So, right now, for me, it’s separating my professional life and community life a little! Thanks for being part of my community and doing all of this WITH me! I appreciate your heart and am thankful for the grace you give!

love your blog, tami, from a fellow do-er. i feel like i AM the computer sometimes - when the ON button is lit, i’m crankin’ away. don’t get in my way, or i’ll likely run you over. and don’t interrupt my program/routine, or i might freeze up or crash. but would that be such a bad thing? to crash, then reset? hopefully, i reset to a much less structured, controlled marna, to a marna that is living what she truly believes, living in community, with an acceptance of the mystery of God in this crazy world.
