Calm in the Midst of the Storm
Almost everyone I know is literally going through some type of storm/battle be it mentally, emotionally, financially,spiritually, etc. Saturday I took a pretty important test and didn’t pass. I had to just stop and laugh. I know the lady probably thought I was crazy, even Rob thought I tripping. Failing that test along with the other stuff thats going on right now would make it easy to give up, lose sight, and feel defeated.
I told Rob (and some friends) of course I am disappointed about failing that test…I NEVER want to fail anything, BUT I refuse to allow that failure to overshadow the many blessing I STILL have in front of me. Life is not easy or fair. We are faced with disappointments and set backs often, however; we are also blessed JUST as often (daily), we just have to choose to see them. The fact that I am alive and healthy, have a roof over my head, HAVE A JOB (whether I like it or not), a loving hubby, family and friends, etc are all blessings. The fact that I can retake the test is a blessing. I know life doesn’t always go as we plan, but try to see the blessing in your situation because it could be so much worse. When life is getting the best of you, focus on the many blessings you DO have. Once you can see your blessings in the midst of will you then experience the calm. Until next time…
Be Blessed
