Eight Invisible Intruders

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO EIGHT INVISIBLE INTRUDERS THAT CAN RUIN YOUR DAY AND KEEP YOU FROM BEING TRANSFORMED INTO WOMEN OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
Let them pass before you as a warning.
1. Miss Nitty Gritty (more trouble with the "gritty").
You have heard: "Let's get down to the nitty gritty?" The harsh truth. The everyday details of living. Can't cope? Is it the every day things that get you down, that overwhelm you--disturb your thought process? They keep you focused on yourself and all you have to do, instead of helping you to reach out and encourage someone else who may have that problem.
Have you seen the saying; "Dust, sign of success."? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
Heloise said, "Good housekeeping will not get you to heaven, but too much good housekeeping may get you there sooner, provided that was where you were headed in the first place."
The Nitty Gritty can keep you from spending time with your children. It can keep you from reaching out to others.
2. Miss Hoity Toity - (Highty Tighty)
This visitor is arrogant, pompous, touchy, takes offense easily. "Does it get your goat?" Does that kind of person keep you from becoming the woman God wants you to be?
3. Miss Namby-Pamby
This person is wishy washy, spineless, and lacking decisiveness. She is afraid to take a stand. This visitor may keep YOU from taking a stand and speaking up when you should, for what you should.
4 & 5. Twins - Miss Diddle Daddle (Dilly Dally) and Miss Dibble Dabble
Miss Diddle Daddle wastes time, talents, gifts, opportunities, and priorities. She can keep you from becoming a woman of encouragement. Miss Dibble Dabble undertakes something superficially without serious intent. She is not serious about things that really matter.
6) Miss La Di Da.
This lady is pretentious. Makes an extravagant outer show. Claims or demands a position of distinction or merit. If she isn't recognized or named first she is out of sorts.
7) Miss Topsy Turvy
This woman is in a state of utter confusion. She is constantly in a disorderly condition. Her schedule is Helter-Skelter. This can keep a person frustrated and keep one from having time to encourage others. One does not have to be Miss Management Plus to be an effective woman. We are not all the same.
8) Mr. Harry Scary
This visitor is one of fear, letting his imaginations get out of control. Do you often imagine awful things that might happen? Do you ever let your imagination run away with you? Your husband is late from work, perhaps an accident. Children late from school. Was there an accident or bombing or kidnapping? Your child is sick, and you imagine the worst. Or perhaps you are not feeling well. Is it life threatening? Maybe you won't live to see your children/grandchildren grow up.
