Yes, you can say that I've been totally "blown away" by God's blessings in my life. My situation hasn't really changed from last week. I'm still seeking gainful employment...Yet I'm realizing every day that there is a good reason why I'm still struggling like this. I'm also realizing that I'm really blessed by all the Lord has given me. I shouldn't be complaining when there are people all around me that are really struggling. I should instead be helping them anyway I can. I am learning very slowly to take my eyes off me and my situation and focus instead on everyone else. Once I do that, I find that people are pretty amazing.
So, I am...again very slowly....redefining myself. Instead of wallowing in a pit of despair, I decided to move forward and trust that the Lord has the right position for me. Part of that trust is to do the things that seem strange or hard to do. I know. You say to yourself..."I can't do that! God wouldn't allow that to happen!" or the favorite of mine..."Why should I?"
Yes, I do know that all the psychiatrists say that you need to focus on positive things, not negative ones. They are right. You do need to focus on the positive. Negative thoughts weigh you down, make you older and sometimes ruin your health if you let them.
That's why I'm amazed by God's love for us. He doesn't give up on us when everyone else does. He's my provider, my comfort and my shield. Oh, how I wish people's eyes would be open to his love! It is a love beyond our understanding. He has blessed me by sending his son to die for me on the cross. He didn't have to do that. He could have left us on our own and helpless against the Evil One. Oh, I do thank you, Lord for saving me and bringing me into your kingdom. May I be worthy of your love.
