It seems that nothing can touch you and that you think you have things under control. You know just what you're going to do and how you're going to do it. Then reality starts setting in. You didn't think so much failure, opposition and rejection would be your portion, but in this moment it is. It hurts so much that the enthusiasm and the high energy you had, just gone in a split second. A moment ago you were happy and then the next you were done. You were done because you had given up. One thing you should know is that those things which caused you to be done and down and out, are the very things that will shape your character. It is good to know you will still praise God while things are all flowery and nice, but the question is can you still praise Him in the midst of hell? Can you praise Him even when you're down to nothing? Can you tell Him your frustrations and give Him your worries and cares? Will you try to take it upon yourself? It's only a moment and that's what you have to remember. I had to tell myself that this trouble that I'm in won't last always. There's a lesson to be learned here. It seems as if it just keeps on repeating itself and nothing is improving. You then think could it be that was the cause of it? That's what you should do during your evaluation first and if not, then you just see and wait what it is that God is trying to tell you and teach you in that season. If it is, then you fix the problem and then things should start to look up. If they don't then it's not your time for your release yet. There's still more for you to learn. There's some growing that you have to do and move forward after when the lesson is learned. Your attitude also is important as well when this sudden change comes upon you. I can say that my attitude certainly was not good when a sudden thing that didn't work out for me at the time that I wanted it, I was upset because I have things to do and what not. This blog is actually inspired by what has happened this week to me. But in the midst of all of this opposition, I have to keep on pressing because God either has something better or it isn't my time. You must ask for His strength and worship Him because that's how you will get through the difficulties that occur your way. I was still upset, but my mind ended up off of it due to my worship and writing in my journal. These are some of the ways that cool myself down when I am facing something difficult. I just looked at an Instagram post that I put up I think 2 weeks ago, no matter what God sees our pain and He's not just off somewhere but He cares about us. Yes, He cares about you. Let's not ask why it is happening but what can I learn from what's happening? Even though, I make mistakes and mess up every day, God still cares and He grants me mercy and grace from moment to moment all the way from hours to hours. So, why not just give Him everything that you are wasting your energy on. I am learning to this even while writing this blog. It is crazy how we may write, but we don't practice that of which we write. But, I am telling you I'm asking God right now to help me to practice that of which I write. I want people to be able to see that I say is what I do. So, when life knocks you down, it is really for a moment but it seems longer because it hurts so badly at the time. But, day by day it will get better and begin to improve. Hold on and look to God who's your strength. I know that's the only way that I'm making it right now. I get upset and frustrated, disappointed just like anyone else, but I give it to God and pray about it. I ask others to pray with me about it too so that I may have people backing me up. These are women of faith and they are prayer warriors. So, just hang in there what may seem long is actually not long. Lean yourself to God for your strength. For His strength is perfect in our weakness.
God bless
