“…All things are possible
to anyone who believes and obeys God….But we have to pray” This chapter has
just spoken to me because I have been in position where there is so much going
in on in my life that I have not time to pray and I just feel as if God has
forsaken me at that moment. But I always forget is that God works best when we
are in hard situations and still pray, because as humans we tend to shown away
from his face, isolate ourselves, be discouraged and depressed. Look at it this
way: if we have a friend that we cannot talk to in the hard moments then that
friend is not a friend to us therefore you need to change that. The same
applies to God, he is our friend of friends, the one who no matter how much the
world hates and forsakes us will always be there, and if we are not able to
talk to God then who will we talk to? Then that means that God is not our
friend. I always tell myself if I can’t change my friends then I must change my
friends. One thing that Stormie spoke about is being content in the state that
you are in life. I think that in my entire life there was only one situation
where I felt uncomfortable with a situation I was in. I found myself
complaining about not being able to graduate soon and constantly looked at my
people I graduated high school and the position they were in and I always
compared myself to others specially my close friends. After I realized that my
complaints only delayed me from reaching my goals and I had to accept that God
does things his own way and that if I continue on that path I was going to
block away so many blessings in my life. Every time I thought that this is it I
am going to graduate this year or next semester something always came up and I
never did. As soon as I let God finish what he has started and said LET THY
WILL BE DONE ONTO MY LIFE, I didn’t have to move a finger things just fell onto
places like it was nothing. I am now graduating in May, the thing was I wasn’t
even certain that I was going to graduate, but then later everything started
happening opposite of what my mind believed. I believe it happened that way
because I had accepted it and learned to live comfortably in that position,
therefore God turn the tables for me. Stormie gives us 7 ways to get free from
negative emotions and without noticing sometimes we do actually carry those
traits. I for example my struggle is when I get irritated which I noticed it is
a VERY BAD habit and even my reverend is telling me to change. I know I don’t
get mad but when I am irritated I don’t
care who you are you will get a SHARP
MOUTH response from me specially if you say the wrong thing to me. And one thing
a lot of people have told is that “... If Lucia is upset everyone gets upset”
that is one of the examples Stormie said in the chapter. So I will be working
one these steps:
1. Refuse
to be anxious because anxiety shows that we don’t trust that God can take care
of us. We just need to pray about.
2. Refuse
to be ruled by anger because it opens doors to sin and the devil. It shuts off
all God has for us therefore we need to flee from it if we want all that He has
for us to flow.
3. Refuse
to be dissatisfied because it makes us miserable.
4. Refuse
to be envious because it makes your life miserable.
5. Refuse
to be depressed because God doesn’t want us to accept this as a way of life.
6. Refuse
to be bitter because it takes hold of our lives and cuts off the blessings of
God.
7. Refuse
to be hopeless because it is death to our souls.
So I will ask
you guys to just keep me on your prayers I know it may sound silly but I really
want to work on that and I know that prayers can help.
Sorry for the
delay and Stay Blessed Ladies Love Y’all.
