I Remembered To BREATHE

Today has been another trying day. 😪 I had to experience the downside of using mobility services. All of the waiting, repeated phone calls, waiting on hold, and conflicting information was overwhelming. Adding the heat, no ac, and pain to the equation, only made a trying day worse.

As I finally wind down to relax, and try to stay cool, I reflect. I am impressed with how, even in my panic, I am calmer than I’ve ever been. I pat myself on the back, because I remember when these bad days would turn into prolonged weeks of depression. I remember my situation literally, crippling me. I remember the yelling, the cursing, the anger, the frustration, the feeling of worthlessness that used to engulf me, because I wasn’t in control of every variable I encountered.

Today, I remember the many times I cried out “why me, Lord?”. “How much more must I endure?”, I frequently asked God. Today, as I continue to heal, I realize that my journey is far from over. Struggles will continue to happen, but God will continue to be God. He will always make a way.

In my healing, I have learned that “Why me?” is never the question to ask. Now I ask ” What would you have me to do, Lord?”. Today, after all I’ve been through, I say “Thank you Lord. Use me, and I will do your will“. I am thankful for the challenges of today. I am ready for the challenges of tomorrow. I will do all I can to use mindfulness in order to operate out of love, patience and kindness in all situations.

Today, I recognize my healing. I see my growth, and in spite of everything, I’m still standing; refusing to allow evil, jealousy and hate to penetrate my heart. Instead, I’m determined to bounce back from every disappointment, betrayal and heartbreak because I know that I am protected by the blood of Christ.

As I relax, I look forward to starting over tomorrow. Until then, I’m going to think positive thoughts, pray, and continue to trust God, on this beautiful Tuesday. Remember that if you can’t be good, BE KIND.
