Wow it feels like forever since i have written. But here it goes for that last couple of weeks I have found myself in a funk. Not knowing exactly how to maneuver myself away from it. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with my surroundings. And boggled down by my very own thoughts and concerns. Exhausted and drained.
Well i prayed, prayed for God to show me what in the world was up? What do i need to work on, what do I need to change? My day went on still no answer and finally I get to the line to wait to pick up my precious daughter.whom am very thankful for. I began to to read and study the word and reading a book.And then it hit me it is my attitude it was waaaaayyyyy off. I realized that I had some how let life get in the way of God's truth. Am blessed that HE is so faithful to answer my prayers. I lacked in my attitude of gratitude.
See when you let disappointments and complaints arise it gives birth to more negativity. and in return you are left feeling empty, tired, frustrated and bitter.
When you focus on the positive of life the blessings; you open the door of you heart to see things in a new perspective. A new refreshing light. Yes I will have laundry and dinner to cook. But am grateful to have a family, yes i might be a bit tired. But i can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.
I was only seeing my long to do list. the nonsense of circumstances clouding the overall picture. I am blessed. I am grateful for those who love me . For the gift of motherhood, for a spouse who loves and cares for me. For sisters who hear me. For my vitamin D( nickname of a BFF). Most of all for the grace that God so lovely pours over me each and everyday. I leave you with this verse
Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. The will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Father God, I thank you for all that you are in my life and for the blessing and teaching you bestow on me and this family. I pray that you would overflow my heart with your love and presence and that you would protect me from my own careless thoughts help me to stand on your truth and only on that truth. In Jesus merciful name I pray.
