PUBLIC NOTICE: Seriously, just my thoughts and just typing them out. Thanks for reading and feel free to share comments. PLEASE DO!
Do any of you ever get the inkling to just try to understand why you are the way you are? OBVIOUSLY, God made you in His image. But I mean like, why you do the things you do? Why you think the way you think?
Example:
- Someone kicks a ball and hits you in the face. How do you react? Some people react in pain by crying hysterically and then other people react by getting so mad they pick the ball up and throw it right back at the person and others may do BOTH but the second reaction may come like a minute after (thats me haha).
- How about when someone doesn’t call you but they call the other friend in the group for some advice?! Am I not good enough? what do they really think of me? HOW DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY SEE ME?!
- What about when you have skills and gifts that people over look and don’t see. In fact, they degrade you (Or you feel degraded) and feel like you can’t be yourself because they don’t use you?
- Someone walks in that’s new, automatically they seem to talk and get along with everyone else but you?
- Your new boss sees everything you don’t bring to the table, instead of everything that you do bring to the table.
You could look at these examples and tell me, “Get a grip and have some self-confidence!”. Someone did do that to me when things seemed to not be going my way and it didn’t help in the situation by the way! So, don’t try it!! haha
Life gives us lemons and we make lemonade, other times it just stays TARTE and pulpy with a hard peel. I think that’s what makes our minds go one way or the other but what makes us get into those lemons anyways? Thoughts? actions? Places we put ourselves in? The process is on going and I hope you all are still following. Deep I know. and if you are reading this and wanting a deep theological or therapy answer. I DON’T have it lol
However, I simple wrote this to let YOU in on some of my thought process thats kind of accumulated. THANK GOD for God :). See what I did there? He woke me up in the middle of the night and reminded me that my life is HIS STORY and that I am just living it.
Living it life = sometimes for my self/ sometimes for God/ or for both we are Human you know?
But living a life for God is putting your heart in His hands, circumstances in His hands and YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS in his hand.
2 Corinthians 11:3
3 We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4 We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
Your warfare won’t be what others think of you but how YOUR thoughts are in alignment with God’s will for your life.
^^^ That was good. You’re welcome. lol
Don’t loose who you are just because something happens that makes you question yourself. Remind yourself who you are in Christ and hold onto the faithfulness of how he sees you and your relationship with Him.
God knows you, he knows your thoughts ( Psalms 94:11).
Your Journey, HIS story.
Love you all.
