Unexpected emergencies sometimes turn your day from being great to now not being so great. Why is that? I mean unless someone passed away, why does a surprise set back or mishap have the ability to alter our emotions in an instant. Maybe it’s because it’s unexpected or because it was something that we can’t control. Who knows but what I do know is I don’t have the mental capacity to allow anything but joy and peace. Today I believe was about perspective. I could have chosen to get upset and choose to be annoyed and frustrated all day but how would that have serve me. How do I get there? Well, once I realized I was a little off I had to step back and identify the real issue. So, definitely self awareness is important. Pray, bring the situation before the Lord. Finding at least 3 upside to the situation at hand. That should help a little bit and turned everything is looking unnecessary. Changing my perspective(Philippians 3:17 NLT). There was no need for me to be frustrated and annoyed with how things were going today because there was an upside to it all. I’m alive, the situation did get better & heat is booming(long story) lol.
I woke up early, per usual. Houses are major responsibility and I had to be responsible so early in the morning. After I spent my time with the Lord I got to work and then had a slight misunderstanding that could’ve easily angered me but Holy Spirit snatched me real quick before things were said that needed not to be said. and the only thing make this thing a reality. I’ve come to the conclusion once I call on Him, I felt myself calming down. You know I’m trying to keep it cute foreal when i start worshipping and that’s exactly what I did lol. Uh uh satan was not about to steal my peace and joy on this God given day no sir. Not only did I end up doing unnecessary labor, I had a heated disagreement that annoyed me for a bit and then I had to find myself at work. At work and only able to really use one hand. The unexpected events just kept occurring all month actually, if I’m being honest. I said Lord I don’t really know what’s going on I’m frustrated and a little overwhelmed but I thank you because I know you are preparing me for something big. I thank you because it could’ve gone another way. You are giving me capacity to endure random mountains that pop up in seasons to come.
Today cold have been worst. I could not be here today. I could be going throughout the rest of my winter with no heat in the house. I could have lost my parents. I could have no clients BUT that is not the case and for that I thank you. Sometimes you just gotta praise Him in advance.
