Handling news

Let me pat myself on the back for getting 2 posts out in 1 month!! Now this will probably go live right before midnight May 30th. It's currently 11:35pm right now so I'm doing my best. Forgive any grammatical errors now!

We're getting down to business!

Imma be in your business real quick! How do you handle unexpected news? News that makes you ugly cry? News that stops and makes you question your entire life? News that you keep to yourself because you feel like you caused it? News that might your bff say "now didn't I tell you"?

I'll tell you that I was immediately sad! I immediately started thinking "what did I do to piss God off"? "Why is this happening to me"?

As I kept thinking about it I realized that God was no where in any of the above questions! How can you be in a Job season if you have free will and YOU made the choices to get you exactly where you are?

Even if you are 100% obedient that doesn't mean that God stops being your father! Just because we're praying and fasting and reading daily that does not excempt us from life lifing!

What I have learned over the past week is that I kept saying previously "I'm not where I used to be with God" but I wasn't doing anything to help my relationship with him! Does that sound like you?

He had to STOP me in my tracks and pretty much say "can you hear me now"? My goal is to not panic when things don't go my way and to immediately start praying and to get off of Google and trying to self diagnose myself.

After the tears and questions I said it's time to show God I'm serious. It's wild how one phone call can make you get in line with God. I don't want that b/c truthfully I should've already been in line but here we are!!!!

Here are some scriptures that are HOLDING me together this week.

Psalms 142:1-3 GNBDC - I call to the LORD for help; I plead with him. I bring him all my complaints; I tell him all my troubles. When I am ready to give up, he knows what I should do. In the path where I walk, my enemies have hidden a trap for me.

John 15:16 GNBDC - You did not choose me; I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.

It's 11:58 I love you! Thank you for stopping by and I pray that this message blessed you and that you share it with someone!
