Sometimes in life you get tossed around, things don't go the way you want them to and you get frustrated and even, complacent. You cannot look on this as the end of your world just because things are not going your way. I came to realize I was doing just that for the last few months. I won't bore you with the details but it has been quite a year thus far, as I'm sure it has been for many of you dear readers.
I've always had my faith (and still do), my optimism, my trust in myself (because you do have to believe in yourself), and I've always had God's favor (His favor has never left me)! This fact I've come to realized; but I wasn't thinking this way all of the time because in the forefront of my mind has been the problems I have been facing each day. They keep hitting me in the face and I keep throwing myself against each one-getting slapped in the face while half of my thoughts sending up absent-minded prayers, the other half fully focused on what I'm dealing with, not realizing that hey, let go and let God! How do I forget this?
I'll tell you how....I get caught up blaming myself even for the things that were out of my control and worrying not just about me and mine, but giving too much energy to those in and around our lives who don't ever seem to mean us any good! The ones that continuously seem to be in the background festering, rubbing all of their wounds on us. You see when things go wrong we question ourselves, we ask why, we wonder what did we do to deserve this? And we sit and worry and we become complacent. But the shit keep happening, we wallow in it and we lose our focus.
That dear reader is the crux of almost everyone's problem right there! because when we lose focus and become complacent it's as if everything around you slowly unravels! So it is with renewed spirit and renewed inspiration that I keep living with expectations because God has an amazing life plan for me, as he does for each of you! [thank you Joel Osteen for that reminder]
Oh I'm sure there will still be those moments of anxiety and I'll freak out because after all, we're only humans! The thing to remember is to never give up on God's love and never, ever, give up on yourself!
