It’s amazing the way life is laid out. When your born you depend on your parents. They provide everything you need to survive. As you get older its your parents, the church, extended family, friends and educators. Suddenly you reach a point where you feel like you can make it on your own. As you age, you begin to realize whats really important.
As I look back over my life, I fit all the steps. As I grow older, I still need all those people, but I need God more. The poem “Foot Prints In The Sand” is my reminder of where God is during all those tough time.
My resolution is still holding strong, I almost weakened this last Friday. It was a rough day at work, I read an Email wrong from Doug, only to have him text me later with disappointment. I almost went into negative feelings and anger. Then a light bulb appeared above my head. I noticed my inspirational plaque I have on my desk. Jeremiah 29:11 was there, along with Psalm 20:4 and 32:8.
Jeremiah 29 talks about God knowing your plans. Psalm 20 talks about how we are given a desire in our hearts and then succeed at it. Psalm 32 talks about how God will teach and guide us. Believe it or not it was like my burden and stress was lifted and I could go on. No tears, no anger, no frustration. Just that feeling of peace and thankfulness. That has never happened to me before. In someone ways I believe God was talking to me at that time.
I was feeling the pressure of Doug being gone, a job that’s not my dream job, and then reading the mail wrong and feeling I was in trouble for that mistaken email. Not to mention just learning how to work through my depression and heal. But amazingly, A few short minutes later and I’m back to feeling that everything was and is going to work out!
I’m back on track, and still holding that resolution of taking it day by day and step by step. Again I am strong, I can do this!
