I started the week feeling really discouraged and unmotivated. On Tuesday I wanted to cancel my journey on the world race. I felt super inadequate and unfit for such a high calling. My cousin reached out to me just to say hi. She’s been going through a storm lately so I started to share scriptures and we made a deal to send each other promises that are in the bible (I’ve found myself in this predicament before where I’m feeling down and someone who’s going through something BIG lands right in front of my blue self).
Then the enemy takes advantage and calls me a hypocrite. So I just sit there while he mocks me and wallow in my blueness. It really stinks! So I did something that I normally NEVER do, I reached out to my best friend and I told her exactly what I was feeling. Thought by thought, and I realized that when I said it out loud how dumb I sounded for allowing the enemy to feel some sort of victory over me. Now if you know me you’d know I’m REALLY blunt and to the point so I told myself, “That’s it Celenne no more pity party and stay away from pettiness”. I prayed. I read. I went to sleep.
It’s now Thursday and we had a staff meeting this morning and my principal told my co-workers I wouldn’t be returning next school year because I was going on a mission trip. I’ve received a lot of encouraging e-mails all day about the trip and how God is going to use me and it’s been so uplifting.
I started out my week really down, BUT God has this way of turning everything around.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy Psalms 30:11
