So, yesterday I let my emotions get in the way. I let someone else’s mental issues take me to a place I thought I had overcome. Then I spent all day, and half the night going over it again and again in my head. It affected my whole day…and my sleep that night. THAT made me even angrier. 

Ughhhh…the battle in our mind is a real thing.

At the beginning of the year I told you guys that my goal was to pursue peace. I knew when I said it that the enemy was going to get busy. I knew it. And I still felt blindsided. 

But let me tell you how awesome our God is. He will send people, or arrange situations to speak to our circumstances. The message at service today was on waiting, and it blessed my socks off. What my pastor said was while we wait for God to move we should pray, study the word of God, and work. 

Pray. Talk to God about everything.

Study His word so that you know Him intimately.

Work. Find the thing you are passionate about, and do it to the glory of God.

We don’t have to do anything except trust Him to handle it. Last week I talked about how God will use the dirt people throw at us to elevate us. If I stay faithful, He will handle whatever needs to be handled. I lost my focus for a moment, and my flesh took control. The thing is…God didn’t leave me like that. He gave me time and opportunity to get my focus back. 

My goal is to honor Him by not dishonoring Him.

Thank you God for loving me enough to come when I call, and for letting me know that no mistake I make will ever come between us.

Until next time…

Be blessed
